After a long wait, I'm just a few weeks away from upgrading my PC. It looks like SSD prices have plummeted since Christmas, so I can't wait to get one of those 
However, I'm torn between CPU choices... The Intel i5 2500K or 3570K?
I'm not going to be overclocking to crazy speeds, and I may even just stick with the stock cooler (unless there's a good reason not to?). So for that reason, I thought I may as well go Ivy Bridge and make the most of the Z77 chipset - as the prices are more of less identical.
Any thoughts on if that is a sensible idea?
