I can't choose between either of these processors. So far theres been lots of different information.

The rig I would use these in would be primarily for gaming (pretty much entirely Battlefield 4 and other "next-gen" games) and would be paired with a R9 290 GPU. I'd also like the aspect of future proofing to be taken into account.

I also primarily want to be gaming at maxed out settings, with around 50-60fps.

Also how does an fx-8350 stack up against these 2 CPUs?

More about : 4670k 3770k

i5 4670k is about the same as fx-8350 (no noticeable difference)
the i7 3770k is better than both.Its basically an i5 with hyperthreading (creates 4 virtual cores on i7 processors)
Go for the 3770k if you can.

Go for a 4670k if you want the best.
I wouldn't say there is no noticeable difference between the 8350 and the 4670K but seeing that you can get a cheap/viable 970 board, a 8320 and a hyper 212 evo for about $80-$100 less, for the performance hit, I'd say it's worth the consideration.

So the 4670k won't bottleneck the GPU? And will be able to run Bf4 and other games maxed out?

Really comes down to price and how much you want to spend. Factor in the motherboard as well.

Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 ATX LGA1150 with 4670k, or Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H ATX LGA1155 with 3770k.
