Ok, I currently have £330-ish to spend on a new CPU and mobo. I want to switch over to Intel, but I am not sure what CPU I should be getting.
I want to be able to almost max out BF4 in the future (currently limited by my 7870, but that is the next upgrade). So my first question is will BF4 benefit from hyperthreading? Because if not, I might as well go for the i5 (I am a light photoshop user and may want to get into video editing in the future, but I doubt that I will use it enough to make the extra money spent on the i7 worth it).
Second, I want to inquire about Haswell, as I am looking into overclocking a few months down the line, but I have heard that it has some heat issues. I would quite like a 4.5 GHz clock if possible. I am looking into getting a Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 2, because it looks awesome and is pretty quiet and cool.
Any money not spent will allow me to upgrade my GPU sooner.
Oh, and here is the motherboard I am looking at getting if I go Haswell, as it looks great and seems to have everything I need.

Wouldn't be sure what mobo to get if I went Ivybridge.
So basically, my question is, 3570k, 4670k, 3770k or 4770k? Thanks.
