I want to know which one is better i7 3930K or i7 3770K ? i will be using the pc for gaming on the highest settings and maybe a little video editing (not pro) and i don't want to bottleneck my gpu also with the price difference it will decide whether i will get 2 gtx 690 or 2 gtx titan also i will be using this system for about 4 years at least and i don't mind the extra wattage because i will be using a 1500w psu and i don't know if this will help but my motherboard is asus rampage iv extreme
Ps: if you have a better cpu from intel can you tell me what is it ?
Thanks

i will suggest i7 3930k as it is way faster than i7 3770k and modern(crysis 3) and future games will start using more than 4cores so i7 3930k will shine later + helpfull in video editing also.get i7 3930k.it will not bottleneck 2*gtx 690

The 3930K gives you 40 PCI-E lanes which is good for 16x16 SLI or Crossfire. The 3930K also supports quad channel RAM. The 40 PCI-E lanes and quad channel RAM support come at a high price premium. I would wait until the next set of Intel CPU's are released before buying. New chips may drive current CPU prices down.
My oppinion:
A lot of gaming and a little video editing = 3770K
A little gaming and a lot of video editing = 3930K

Based on prior releases and price drops, I don't expect the i7-3770K to drop more than $10 when Haswell is released. I can't say much about the higher end CPUs like the i7-3930k since I don't usually look at them, but I think it would still be a relatively small price drop.

For example, when the i5-3570k was released, the i5-2500k dropped from $225 down to $220 on Newegg... and it is still selling for that price.
