So im in a really huge pickle on weather i should get a 4770k or 3770k.
I can get a 3770k for around 250 while 4770k will be around 280.
Motherboards are around the same price, Ivy being the Msi Mpower and Haswell being the GD65 gaming.
Now most of you would say, dude, for 30 bucks, just get the haswell. Well, heres the thing. I plan on overclocking.
We all know how bad haswell is at overclocking because of the heat it produces. I dont want to be stuck with a bad OC chip, and only be able to get it to 4.2, when i could have gotten Ivy up to 4.7. Yes i know haswell is 10 % (on average) faster per core, so 4.5 haswell = 4.7/8 Ivy.
I just dont want a bad chip, and that huge heat output.
Even h100is (which is what i have) arent really that effective at cooling haswell.
I also dont plan on upgrading until Skylake comes out so by then both sockets will be dead anyway.
Should i take the risk for 30 bucks more, and get the slightly faster haswell, with better intergrated graphics (which will hold me off for sometime until i get my Asus 770) considering the huge heat output/temps and the slight benefits of Z87 platform?
