I have read a lot of forums where most experts recommend the 4770k over the 4930k in performance/price ratio. Here is the the thing, I upgrade my computer roughly every 5 years so I saved money and have aprox 3200 to spend on a new system. As stated above this is my gaming rig (for work, my laptop). Now the real question, since I don't plan on spending money for another 5 years, what would be my best bet? I wan't to get:
2 gtx770
2 samgung 840 Pro 256 GB
1 big hard drive
1 corsair hydro H100i
1 corsair AX 1200 power supply
1 Corsair dominator platinum PC3 17000 (16 or 32 Gb)
1 Coolermaster Cosmos 2 (got it)
1 cpu
1 motherboard (asus pref)

Thank you.

You will not see any improvements in gaming with the 4930K. Maybe 2-3% Max...

If however you do any Video editing, Rendering, or other CPU intensive tasks, the 4930K will be vastly superior. I have the 3930K and it is a beast!

Edit:

If you do go with the 4930K and have the money to spare, I recommend the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme.

If you go with the 4770K, then I recommend the ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME LGA 1150 Intel Z87

You can get a 1200W PSU but it's not necessary to have that much power, CPUs and GPUs are a bit more energy efficient and don't really require PSUs over 1000W. I would go with one large SSD vs 2 smaller ones, you get a better cost per GB and they generally have faster read/write speeds.

You may want to go with the i7 if you really don't plan on upgrading for another 5 years because if games really do start to take advantage of 8 cores due to the newer consoles your CPU will be ready.
