Hi Everyone.
Would be great if you could give this the once over and leave some feedback on your thoughts.

I mostly use my pc for playing games such as Battlefeild 4, dayz and diablo but also use it for Auto CAD, not heavy usage, my current CPU deal with it most of the time.

But my CPU is really old now so looking for an upgrade and therefore a new motherboard as well.
Was thinking maybe the i7 would be better as it might last longer than the i5 before requiring a update, especially if new games are going to be using multithreading.

Computer shopping list
Asus Z87-K USB3.0 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 4670K Quad Core
Or Intel Core i7 4770K for £77 more

Could save money on the CPU and get a new Graphics card.

currently have.
biostar n68s3b
AMD Athlon 640
nvidia gtx460
8gb crossair ram
650watt power supply

Thanks

Thanks for the quick replies
If i get a new CPU and a motherboard then it would be a stretch to get a new GPU as well. So max budget would be the combined cost of the i7 and the Asus.
Will there be sufficient difference in the performance between the i5 and the i7 for what i use it for (Gaming). Or is the extra money better spent on saving for a new GPU which is more likely to hold back my build?
