Which build would be the better way to go. I'm going to be using my pc for moderate gaming, Lots of web browsing and video watching, and expect really fast performance all around for any task especially in the long run. Overclocking is still questionable for me though. My GPU is a GTX 770. So which build is better:

A. 4770k Stock cooler
Gigabyte Z87 UD3H OR

B. FX-8350 with corsair h100i
Asus Sabertooth 990 FX R2.0

Yes that would be good. You'll get that I5 to 4.4 or 4.5 ghz easily :)

Have you not considered an i5 4670k? It's amazing for gaming and it beats the fx 8350.

My stock cooler for the 4770 (non-K version) has kept my CPU very cool & I run it 10-12 hours per day. Very quiet also.

I don't overclock, so I can't say if the stock cooler would keep temps down in that situation.

That might be a good idea. Do you think I should switch the 4770k to a 4670k and add in the corsair h100i?
