Help with choosing best bang for the buck :)

So I wonder should I get for i5-3570K or pay more for the i7-3770K? And I'm thinking of getting the Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 2GB.

In another forum people said to get i5-3570K with GTX 780, because its better for gaming. Is that true because I know that with 780 will get better performance, but is it worth to pay 250€ more just for few frames?

I don't really know all these new card and what will be the best buy, so I'm counting on you bros.

insanebg :

you wont see a performance difference between the 3570k and 3770k when it comes to (current) gaming. But with the next gen consols having 8 core processors, I can foresee next gen games using up to 8 cores.

I'd get the 3770k processor and the gtx 770. You can always SLI them later on if you need more horsepower.

I just built it for you (everything but the case, I left that up to you).

When it comes to performance and functionality that would be your best route IMO.

I chose low profile ram to avoid issues when installing such a large heat sync.

I also went with intel's latest haswell chip. If your going to build a new system you might as well go with the latest technology.

I also chose a 750 watt SLI ready PSU to give you the option of going SLI in the future. But keep in mind there are lots of cables with that PSU so make sure your case has a cable management system built into it.

I would also recommend getting an SSD drive for your operating system. It really does make the pc experience better.

Note: Nvidia just launched their gtx 760 series GPU, which only costs $250. 2 of those in SLI will outperform the gtx 770 by a significant margin (50% would be my guess) and only costs 20% more if you go SLI.

Good luck.
