if you have the money pick up the 4770k. the i7 with hyperthreading is better in some games. for price and performance you cant beat the 4760k. the 1155 cpu and mb are a dead slot the 1150 mb will let you drop in a cpu refresh if a few years.

There is absolutely no need to use an i7 for gaming. The only difference between the i5 and i7 is Hyperthreading. No game uses it, and no game likely ever will within the next say 10 years. By then the i5 will be a turtle. Buying the i7 for gaming is purely a waste of money and nothing more.

i7s are nice for editing and stuff like that but for gaming an i5 is all you need
