For gaming specifically, go with the i5. The AMD has an advantage if you are using it for hosting services and other highly threaded applications, but the i5-3570 is the better day to day performer for gaming purposes. I have an 8150 in my rig and it gets the job done so either one would be an excellent selection.

Even the 8350 is sub par to 3570k capabilities. Amd has been behind the times for a few generations now. Many moons ago amd was top dog and I was a huge fan. For gaming and OC potential, 3570 is a better bet

If you only need 4.2ghz then consider drop motherboard to Z77A-G43 ( still sufficient to OC to over 4.2ghz with the cooler you picked ) and change the PSU back to 650w version. VS550 won't handle a HD7970 well.
Click to expand...

This cooler is temporary but can it handle 4.8Ghz and motherboard is okay to take around 1.40v or 1.65v for 5ghz.

Depends on the 3570k you got, since some of them are better for OC-ing than others, some are worse.

Z77A-G43 has max voltage at 1.4V, just enough to push an i7 3770k to 4.5ghz. If you want more then consider paying more to get the G45. Just don't drop the PSU.

As said, not all 3570k are equal, so it'll depend on your luck. The cooler you picked should be enough to handle 4.8ghz if your CPU is a good one that doesn't need high vcore.

Keep in mind that 4.0ghz 3570k has better single-thread performance than 4.8ghz FX 8350.

And turn of caps lock, it's like yelling at us.
