I'm building a gaming rig that I hope will stay ahead of the curve for the next 4 to 5 years. Which combo would you recommend? i7 4770k + GTX 770 4GB or i5 4670k + GTX 780 3GB?

With the $100 difference I can upgrade the 770 to a 780. Will the better graphics card go further than the better CPU?

How much of a difference does 256-bit compared to 384-bit make?

Alternatively, if I am going with an i5 4670k would I be better off with an 8 core AMD FX CPU for around the same price like a 9370?

Thanks guys!

4670k and 780. FX 8320 only if you plan to record your gaming and do any kind of video editing of your gaming. The dark horse here, if not wanting to overclock, is an E3 1230 v3. Costs a bit more than a 4670k, but cost can be offset by less expensive motherboard than a 4670k would need.

I think it really depends on what you will do to your PC
You have to prioritize your usage on your PC
if Gaming is the main purpose go for i5 4670k + GTX 780 as hyper-threading in i7 doesn't benefit gaming performance
if you will do video editing or photoshop more over gaming then i7 4770k + GTX 770 4GB maybe a better option.
