This quad core powerhouse delivers all the processing power a gaming machine really needs. Why not the i7 you may ask? Well the i7 merely adds Hyper-Threading and a higher clock speed to the equation. Though these two improvements are fantastic in CPU intensive tasks such as video encoding and 3D modeling, in gaming scenarios it doesn’t really do a whole lot. Games these days are much more graphics intensive than CPU intensive.

That said, if looking to do live streaming or other tasks which require any sort of video encoding, feel free to pick up the i7.

I suggest that you upgrade RAM to around 16 gbs and look into the i7 4770k, great processing power and worth the price. The graphics card is sufficient but apart from that a good build. Have you considered an ssd, to run your os and high demanding games like bf smoothly and quickly. Overall a good build, but i think you should consider those two things. Thanks Devstar

It will be able to handle most games at ultra setting at 1080p, the i5 4670K is a perfect CPU for gaming if you don't have the money for the i7 also the Geforce GTX 770 will be able to run most next gen games (such as Watch_Dogs and LOTR SOM) But if you want Extreme performance and better multi-tasking than the i7 4770K would be a better choice.
