Hi all,

After my 8800GT gave up, I got a HD7790 to replace it. Now I want more.

I'm looking at a i5 4570, and I'm wondering whether it matters what chipset I get, looking at a couple articles and intel spec sheet, I dont see a big difference.

So what practical difference is there between the two?

Oh right, I forgot to mention I'm upgrading from an E4300.

Here's a Part List:

Old -
C2D E4300
945G Mobo
4*1GB DDR2-800
PNY 512MB XLR8 8800GT

New -
i5 4570
MSI B85(or H87) G41 Mobo
2*4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
Sapphire 1GB HD7990OC

My HDD, ODD, PSU, etc are staying as is.
