Vengeance LP 1600mhz (2500k or 3570k)

[OldbreeD]

Hello everyone
I have a PC with Vengeance LP 8GB, 1600Mhz, and I am wondering which would be better: having a 2500k or a 3570k
Thx

If you have the choice between the 2, get the 3570K as long as it is not overly expensive as compared to the 2500K.

Thx for the answer, but what I want to know is if the ram (Vengeance LP 1600mhz) performance would be better with an 3570k than with an 2500k installed.
I read that about Ivy Bridge: " sandy bridge only officially supported a maximum DDR3 speed of 1333MHz...memory sweet spot for an ivy bridge is 1600Mhz"
does this mean that an 1600mhz ram runs better with a 3570k than with 2500k?.
Thx in advance

The RAM will be just fine either way, but you should still get the Ivy Bridge.
