You won't need anything more than an i5-4670k for gaming. Anything faster than that is wasting your money.

o.k. well for gaming i'd recommend the Core i5-4670K, based off the Haswell architecture, replaces the last generation Ivy Bridge based Core i5-3570K, which was among the top processors for gaming from both a value and performance standpoint. With the Core i5-4670K, this story hasn’t changed.
Despite Intel focusing on power efficiency with the new Haswell processors, the new Core i5-4670K is once again a performer, sporting the same 3.4 GHz clock speed with the ability to turbo up to 3.8GHz as the last generation Core i5-3570K. That said, despite the Core i5-4670K receiving identical clock speeds as its last generation counterpart, it’s still able to pull of up to a 10-20% performance improvement depending on the workload.Since Haswell’s overclocking ability is relatively similar to what we saw in last generation Ivy Bridge parts, a mild overclock of up to 4.0-4.6 GHz (~15-25%+ performance improvement) is easily achievable with proper cooling.
