The price is £25 for the CPU. Should I upgrade to something better? My current model is an i3-2120. Would it be worth investing in a new motherboard and CPU?

The price for an i7 2600k used varies, but it's a solid upgrade worth considering. Yes, it definitely justifies the cost for 25 bucks.

I own a PC with an AMD A4-7300 (custom). Would you prefer a xeon kit for £60?
