So I' am upgrading my pc, and I don't know which deal to get. I had a big problem on my last order at micro center so I have a 35% off my total on a processor mother board purchase. I can only pick out of these three combos for some reason. Money is not really an issue, but I wanna make the smartest buy. I dont just wanna buy the most expensive one if it's not the smartest one.

The i5 4670k 199.99 with ASUS Maximus VI Gene209.99=409.98$-35%=266.49$

The i7 4770k 279.99 with ASUS Maximus VI Extreme399.99=679.98$-35%=441.99$

The i7-4930K 529.99 with Asus X79 Rampage IV Extreme 349.99=879.98-35%=571.99

This motherboard will be NEW not refurbished for 349.99.

So to clear all the up

The i5 4670k & ASUS Maximus VI Gene for 266.49$

The i7 4770k & ASUS Maximus VI Extreme for 441.99

The i7-4930K & Asus X79 Rampage IV Extreme for 571.99.

I mostly game. I play World of Warcraft a lot while streaming on twitch tv. I make a lot of wow videos for my guild. So I make videos edit them, and upload them to youtube. I play all the hardcore games as well, like Crysis 3, and Battlefield 4.

My system will be as follows. I' am in the process of a HUGE upgrade.

NZXT Switch 810
which ever cpu/mobo I pick above
x2 Evga GTX 780 Classified, will be doing the EVGA step up to get the x2 GTX 780 TI Classified
SeaSonic Platinum-1000 1000W PSU

It depends. What do you plan to do with your system and what are the rest of your specs? For just gaming, the i5 is plenty and more then enough power for all the games out there. The i7s are just top of the line processors that are overkill for most people unless you're rendering or editing videos.

I'd say go with the i7-4770K. If you want to buy something like a HD 7990, you'll definitely see quite a difference between the 4670K and 4770K, but of course, unless you buy such monstrous graphics adapters, the 4670K will be fine with pretty much all the games.. But yet again, I'd get the i7-4770K, because it's more future proof, better and faster at rendering videos and let's not forget that you can install whichever card you want in the next 3 years and there won't be even the slightest performance drop. You'll juice out the maximum performance out of any card yet to come with the 4770K.
