I used to have an FX 6300, and i recently upgraded to a 4670k. The FX 6300 was actually getting me a bit better frame rates before i overclocked, but after I overclocked the 4670k gave me way better frame rates. Although the 8350 and 4770k are both good overclockers, the i7 will just scale way better than the 8350 in terms of overclocking. If you don't plan on overclocking, I suggest the AMD.

But wouldn t be an i7 better for future games? Cuz i think games will need more cores for playing max out ? What do you think ?

AMD has more cores than intel. Intel uses hyperthreading.

Core for core, as you've already said, Intel wins hands down. In 2-3 years (when you plan to upgrade) is when games might start utilizing more cores.. As of now it's still mostly based on graphics power. The i5-4670k is on par, and better in some games than the 8350, getting the i7 would be overkill, but in the case you do get the i7, you won't have to worry about a 8350 outperforming you.

all of those motherboards have proven to be very good. You can't go worng by going with any of those. The ASUS has been said to have the best quality components.

I think the more important question here is what is your graphics card? Save a little on the CPU and get a better graphics card as that will give you the biggest performance increase. Most modern processors are entirely capable. If you get a good graphics card you won't notice the difference between the processors listed since you'll blow past 60FPS.

I do agree with what everyone here has said though, IF budget isn't a concern (i.e it doesn't take out of what you can spend on the Graphics card) then go with the i5 4670k, it's a beast.

for now iv got evga 570 gtx superclocked but im not planing to replace it yet i will wait for 2nd generation of amd gpus which im presuming they will come in 2014 . And amd gpus are not so expensive as nvidia and they produce beast cards for the money :D

But still i watched cpu benchmarks a lot and as far i saw fx 8350 is better in some games and in some is i5 or i7. I think the reason is the optimization for the cpu. (example there are some games optimazed for amd in which fx 8350 got more fps ) am i wrong ?

For the most part the i5 4670k will be better. If you were to get, for example, an R9 280x you would not notice any difference between the CPUs. With your GPU, you might. Since anything over 60FPS you won't actually see, and both CPUs can achieve that.

The i5 4670k will be better for single-threaded (older) games, and the FX and i5 are similar in better threaded games (2-4+). And then with the FX you have a few cores idle available for other multitasking. But overall the i5 4670k will perform better, but the disparity is difficult to claim. Personally, I went with an FX 8320 as I'm not going to pay so much more just for a minimal FPS gain, you can get more out of a good GPU. You're correct, some games are optimized for either brand.

firstly i was looking for an fx 8350 and assus formula V - z and it cost about 150 € less than i7 4770 k and assrock z87 extreme 6 . im only looking for cpu that will handle games on max for at LEAST 2 but better 3 years :D . If fx 8350 can do that im going with it if not the 150 € is better to invest in intel i7 i think

To 'handle' games is more dependent on your graphics card, either CPU would be great, it's the GPU that really matters. Old Phenoms still hold up alright if you pair them with a decent graphics card, these FX/i7s will be around for a while yet.
