Best cpu to get along with 780(not overclocking)

GagaTroll · Sep 7, 2013

what is the best cpu to get in combination with a 780? (im not planing to overclock,
the games im going to play are cpu depended)

i5 3570k, 4670k and the FX-8350 would be great choices.

I would say go with the 4670k.

is there a noticeable difference between 3570 and 4670?

Platinum Era :

getting a 4670k when im not overclocking would be a waste no?

GagaTroll :

There will be a small increase of performance between the 3570 and the 4670, however in gaming, there will be no noticeable difference . IMO, getting a 4670k without overclocking is a waste, since you getting a CPU with an unlocked muliplier.

so what cpu would you recommend to get i5 3570? are there any other options?

GagaTroll :

The non "K" variant should be fine but the unlocked one can future proof a bit with some OCing IMO
Your best choices are the 3570/4670 (and their unlocked variants), or an Fx-8350.

I agree with getting a K variant. (3570k or the 4670k) and since you games are be "CPU depended" overclocking your CPU will give you a FPS boost in some games.

The main difference is the integrated GPU. The 3570 has an HD 2500 and the 4670 uses a HD 4600 which is much better. But you are getting a 780 so it doesn't really matter. The 4670 is slightly faster and uses less power. Haswell (4670) has a better voltage regulation system which is part of the CPU. But, really, anything the Haswell 4670 can do, the Ivy Bridge 3570 can do equally as well. The only time you will notice a difference is if you run a benchmark. As for either CPU with a 780, they both have PCI-e 3.0 and will pretty much be the same combined with the 780, although the newer Intel H87 boards that have Virtu MVP do not include the software for free anymore. Older H77 boards did. At least when I got a Z77 it was free. Virtu MVP combines the iGPU with the 780 to give you better performance.

Yes, if you do not plan on overclocking, any unlocked ("k") processor is a complete waste. So is a Z77 or Z87 motherboard. Just get the H-series. It is the same as the Z-series but without overclocking and cheaper (if both are ATX or both are mini-ATX, etc.). The CPU will still boost, but it is locked out from going any higher.

can i get a z87 for sli?

the problem is that i dont use an amd card
i use nvidia
so it looks like i have to get a z87 after all
