If all 3 CPUs [hypothetically] cost the same amount of money, which processor would be best for...

Games?
Rendering?
Overall?

keep in mind Stock vs Overclock speeds.

Thanks

I7 4770K wins every time. Even in content creation(rendering), the I7 will scale better thanks to a better IPC and better memory performance. HOWEVER there are a few odd tests where the 8350 does beat the I7, but these situations are few and far between...

So what I am saying, the I7 is consistently faster and more likely to give a better user experience.
The I7 also generally allows easier OCing due to less heat production.

ignoring the GFX card (to be upgraded later--placeholder) is that an efficient build?

A 4770K would be the best at stock. It will be about 10-15% more capable than stock with a conservative overclock that the "K" permits. You will need a Z87 based motherboard. Pick your favorite brand, they are all good. If you need specific features like sli capability, wifi, extra sata ports, then you would look for them and expect to pay a bit more.

As of now, broadwell 14nm may not show up on the desktop; more likely it will be a haswell refresh. Both should be compatible with Z87.
