So I play WoW and I'd like to switch out Mobos and Processors

Whats the big diff between 4820k and 4770k?

I don't need SLI so I'd like a motherboard that can perform with either of these and a gen 3 PCI@ X15 slot for my 780Ti... What should I go for in that are? Don't Price range for combo and cooler is around 800$

I noticed the 4820 is only 20$ more

Wouldn't waist money on 4820 as in your game you'll see no difference
The difference is that 4820k has bigger L3 cashe (10mb) and supports more ram 64 GB. 4770k TDP lower, so you save energy (wouldn't notice anyway) and 4820k don't have iGPU. which you don't need anyways with your GTX 780 Ti, but that's difference, the rest is basically same

"4820k has bigger L3 cashe (10mb)" and "4820k don't have iGPU" I figured the Cache might be worth the 20$ diff, just for down the road stuff, what is iGPU?

The 4770k has superior single core performance. That trumps the 4820k's small cache advantage. This is what I wanted to know, WOW's old ass engine will limit it to 2 cores, my FX 8350 gets railroaded when I walk into SW (I've checked via the resource monitor built into windows). So I was hoping for better single core performance. The 2011 socket also scares the crap outta me, don't want to change everything
