2500K/2600K with a decent cooler

Problem is you need the correct motherboard to go with it and hopefully the ram speed that the motherboard can use. Theres extra consideratons

You would find a Core 2 or something for free at a junkyard.

Probably a used 4790k

2600k prices are still a bit high

but the 1700 is almost $200 less and can OC to levels near the 1800x.
