The best performance for money is the i5 2550K CPU. If you want the
integrated graphics because you don't have an actual graphics card, you
can go for the 2500K.
This is a Sandy Bridge CPU. I normally don't recommend the Ivy Bridge
ones because they run hotter, so changing the clock multipliers isn't as
fun as with Sandy Bridge.
