Aha, I'll keep that in mind then. More worried about bending the pins to an AMD CPU than not, but I'll be looking into that if there are any deals or price points I can use for matching performance.

Maybe it'd be worth getting the Index first, gauging performance, and ordering a new CPU if needed after all. Was the performance increase that noticeable, or were you still able to use it comfortably (even if not the best) in VRC or other sims before upgrading?
