Hello all,
I'm making the upgrade to an i7 from my old quad core Athlon. I have a Microcenter about 45 minutes away so I'm trying to get as many parts as I can from there. I recently discovered their motherboard/CPU combos and their insane savings. I'm torn between either the 3770k with an ASROCK Z77 Extreme4 motherboard, or a 4770k with an MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate. I know that the ASROCK board is all around a better board than the MSI board, but I also know that the 4770k is better than the 3770k. The 3770k combo is $5 more than the 4770k, but that's no big deal. What should I go with?
