Hello, im wondering if its really much difference between i7 4770k and i5 4670k.
I would like a powerful cpu, but not too expensive, and since the i5 is cheaper, and almost the same GHz, I would like if its much difference or not.

I use my 7950 with an i5 3330 and don't have any bottleneck.. a 3570K is more than enough, you'll see about 8% more performance with Haswell! If you're willing to pay the extra bucks do it, but is not that necessary

If you ever want to upgrade in the future you will need to buy a whole new board and processor again. It would be smarter to go with the 4670k now so you have an l1150 socket and not a 1155 socket. You will be stuck if you ever want to upgrade to stuff in the future with the 1155 socket
