Watch Dogs will only use 4 cores, it will ignore the hyper-threading, so the recommended CPU would also be an equivalent to an i5 3570k. The i5 4670k smashes the recommended AMD FX8350, so I am almost certain that an i7 is not needed. Games are always more GPU bound than CPU, get a more powerful GPU and wont regret it. And are you gaming at only 720p. If you are, DO NOT buy a system this powerful. It is an absolute waste of money for 720p gaming. I just re-read that, and I see you're not gaming at 720, but I don't know where you get your benchmarks from, but there is quite a significant gain when upping from a 760 to 770.

I don't know why there are so many commas but you should go with 2 sticks of 4. And if you're gaming an not video editing or rendering, don't bother with the i7, go with an i5 4670k and a GTX 770 instead of the 760.

Yep, just get the 4670k. 4770k is a waste of money for gaming. 4670k will handle any game in the coming years without any problem. It's also really good for older games or emulators since it has really fast cores.

u r right but i was takling about gtx 760 twin frozr which is 10% more powerful than the stock 760 ,,and the gtx 770 is 20 more powerfull than the stock 760 so in my case between twin frozr 760 and gtx 770 there is only 10 % of ncrease for extra 10 k which is not good although if u have any more suggession .and will gtx 760 not able to push nextgen games to ultra setting near 40-50 fps ..,, and for cpu i am confussed about that the recommended cpu for watchdogs in intels linup is i7 3770k for ultra ..so why they dont reccomend the less powerfull i5 4670 k .. there should be a reason .....and sorry it was my exam yesterday so i replied so late
