What chipset do you guys think is best?

p.s. just in case what about i7-4770k as im a bit undecided yet though leaning towards the 4820k

Thanks,
Sebastian
 
Solution
I would go with the 4770K so that you can use a socket 1150 board like the ASRock Z87 or ASUS Z87 models that have the options you want. The Z87 chipset has more native SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 ports and is a better value.

PLZ dont get me wrong id not trying to argue with you, its just that fair number prefer 4770k and all they say is one positive and ignore the 20 positives on the 2011, i have not heard it to be real buggy i guess that really halps in making a choice.

Thanks a lot
