I was wondering on which Intel I should get? I was looking at the i7's I dont want an i5 even though I know its not much of a difference between the two in perfomance events. But I do a lot of 3d Work and photoshop stuff so the i7 would benefit. Which i7 Would be the best? I was looking at a 4770k but then I noticed theres 4770, 4770 Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and I cant afford an extreme so thats out of the picture. But whats the difference between them?
Which Intel should I get?

4770K is the haswell i7
i have not heard of any sandy or ivy i7 with model number 4770
the 'K' at the end of any processor model number means it is unlocked and therefore easily overclock-able to get better performance when you need
i would say go for the haswell if you have the budget for it

You're right, there are a lot of different 4770 models but all of them are Haswells.
You can compare them here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/75122,75123,76642,75124,75125
You'll notice some minor differences between them but here's a quick rundown of what the different chips mean:
4770 - standard locked version (84w)
4770K - unlocked (overclockable) (84w)
4770S - downclocked and locked (lower power consumption) (65w)
4770T - downclocked and locked (even lower power consumption) (45w)
4770R - soldered and locked (OEM chip that is soldered to the mobo) (65w)
