I am making my first PC build and was wondering which processor is better considering i am not intending to overclock?

3570k is faster than a 4440, however save a few bucks and get a 3570 (non k) if you have no intention of OCing.

The 4400 uses a newer chipset than the 3570k, which has a few better features... my actual suggestion (assuming you're in the USA) would be to buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116898 Same clock speed as the 3570k, cheaper, and does more number crunching per mhz.

Getting an i5 4670 makes more sense.
