If you can afford to wait and your budget is indeed 170$, get an i5 3570K. You can find it on sale for around 170$ and probably less with the holidays coming.

You'' be doing yourself a disservice going with the 3470.

Compare the two here: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3470 and here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/68316,65520.

Though honestly you should be looking at Haswell chips at this point instead of Ivy Bridge unless you already have the motherboard. The 4570 replaces the 3470. Read up on it here: http://ark.intel.com/products/75043/Intel-Core-i5-4570-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz

But is there any better cpu for amd that is better than the i5 3470 like the fx 8350? Cuz having the i5 3470 is already maxed out my budget(btw which gpu suits my i5 the best between this 2 cards:nvidia geforce gtx650 ti or sapphore radeon hd 7770 vapor-x)
