Which CPU would be better for what i'm trying to do?

Tron_Impact · Dec 25, 2013

I'm debating between getting an i7 4770k or an i5-4670K. I could really use the extra 100$, but I don't want to spend 230$ and have the processor not be good enough. I'm trying to run BF4 and DayZ Standalone at high to ultra settings, and recording/livestreaming games such as minecraft and DayZ. The current CPU I have right now is really shitty. Its a AMD A8 5500 APU. Thanks to anyone that answers my questions! Also, if you know anything about motherboards, will this motherboard be good for those processors? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128592
Thanks!

for gaming, the i5 should fit your needs, the i7 would only be useful for hyperthreading situations. Any Z87 motherboard that has the features you desire will be sufficient. Regardless of what motherboard you choose (or are interested in) go to hardware review sites such as here, Anandtech, Daily Hardware, etc. and see what they have to say about it. You can't depend on things you read from customer reviews.
