Hi i need advice on a gaming cpu . I have already bought a asus 7970 .
1 ) i5 3570k + gigabyte z77x d3h
2 ) i5 4670k + gigabyte z87x d3h

The haswell config is 20-25$ at tops expensive than the ivy.

Some will tell you to go Ivy because of the more consistent overclocks. Some will tell you to go Haswell because it is newer and the socket will be used for broadwell CPU's (you're mobo will last 2 generations). At the end of the day it comes down to what you want, overclocking or longevity and future upgradability. I personally love my 4670k and it overclocks just fine!

Can you please post your system build. How far have you overclocked your 4670k. Is the heating problem really that bad?
