I am going for a computer that is able to live stream and multi-screen game but i don't know which CPU to buy either the Intel core i7 3770k or the intel core i7 4770k?

as i said before, 4670k is more than enought for streaming and videogames, if ur gonna do video-editing and so on the 8core amd 8350 could be an option but overall if u want the most framerates per second the 4670k is the def champ here.

Just saying this now I do NOT want to start any debates about Intel or AMD but there have been a fair few reviews that have said that the AMD FX-8350 is better for live streaming and another fact is that its a hell of a lot cheaper than the i7's...
With that sai if your set on an Intel CPU if you don't already have a 1155 motherboard go with the Haswell chip.
Again I say I do not want too start any debates just simply stating what I have personally watched and read.

The FX 8350 is a fine choice. It's a lot of power for the price. However, either i7 is better in every way. Of course, it's WAY more money so it's not really a fair comparison.

OP what's your budget? The 4770k is 5-10% better than the 3770k it replaced. Usually you can get the 3770k a lil cheaper though. You can't go wrong with either. The question is, do you want to pay that much?

The performance was similar if I remember right, I may be wrong but then you could say f***k it and go for a socket 2011 chip.
I will hold my hands up and say I could be wrong here and if I am I apologize.

Why do you talk so much bullshit ? 95% of the time.

My FX8350 in Premiere Pro with MPE active renders about as fast as the twice the price i7 3770k. The marginal performance lead of the i7 3770k in Premiere does not justify the almost 2 times the price.

The i7s will beat hands down the FX in some applications but not in editing with Premiere where they are about equal.

Please define badly the 14 seconds difference at twice the price.

And to answer to the topic i would personally go with the i7 4770k since in my country the 4770 is a bit cheaper than the 3770k.

Well I never said the i7s are always worth the extra price. That's a different argument that we'd probably agree on.

Of course you point out one of the VERY few things they are remotely equal on. There are always exceptions. That's why I said 95% instead of 100% of the time.

The "huge power drain" myth. Actually is not that much.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4et7kDGSRfc

10$ more in a year for an FX8350 vs i5 3570k. I don`t condemn people for liking Intel or AMD , same goes to GPUs, but when i hear everybody with: oh AMD will gonna eat more juice... well... in reality is not that much of a difference.

@CTurbo synthetic benchmarks where i7`s really crush the FX should not even be considered... nobody cares how much it does in super Pi, 3dmark or w/e. It`s all about real used applications where the differences mostly are not that much, except when you get programs that care more about core performance. And i pointed out the exact thing the guy who made the thread asked, i didn`t posted BF4 performance when he asked about Video Editing.

$10 more a year based on what price of power?
Lots of countries do not have cheap energy after all this climate change BS doing the rounds (again, only this time they primed people in Primary School to believe it as Gospel).

Every 24 hours it runs at peak load vs a similar spec'd Intel system it uses an extra kilowatt hour of energy.

Over three years this could add up to around $274 dollars, in some countries it may be a $526 difference over just three years.

If they're overclocked, as they're closer to the edge they need far more power for a smaller relative gain in transistor switching speed, so you're looking at an even larger difference. Maybe even ~61 watts more than usual.

Which is about $1,275 dollars more relative to a TurboBoosting Core i5/i7 in some countries over that same three year period!
- $1,275 dollars over 3 years is the difference between another whole PC and/or upgrades, or not...

Don`t tell me you run your computer at 100% power 24/7 all year... And please don`t tell me you took TDP as the actual power drain of the CPU :)
