Okay so im not really building this computer to focus on gaming, although gaming is a plus. Its more towards music production(Main reason of the new build), some graphic design, and minor video editing. Will most likely upgrade the Gfx card down the road till then im going with the 650 to save some money.

(Im going thru Xidax because im going to finance this computer with there no credit check)

the 4820k is a faster processor, but id say just go with the cheaper build of the two, as the 4770k is still a beast of a processor for the price. I get the situation you are in, but you will be spending so much more on this system than if you were to build it on your own...financing things like this just isn't a good idea unless you are literally making money with your computer. otherwise it's something you can live without until such a time as you can actually pay for it

I agree with you 100% but music production is my career so I need it ASAP. If it helps I'll be going half with my partner on this machine. The price for the 4820 build is 1824 and the 4770 build is 1849 (funny huh lol? Probably because of the h100i)

So you think I should go with the 4820k build? Motherboard is good and the 570lx would be fine?
