I am going to be doing a four screen, eyefinity system - 3 for gaming...and the extra one as a desktop. Ultimately, I want to watch movies or stream from the internet while I play games like BF3and4, Skyrim, Neverwinter, and the like.

Would the 3570k or the 3770k be better? What would the community reccomend?
 
I7 3770k's biggest plus over i5 3570k is the 4 virtual threads from Hyper-threading technology. Most games can't take advantage of Hyper-threading technology, therefor 3570k is a more sufficient choice. Plus, overclocking the 3570k would be easier, due to less heat produced.
