There is no need to get a top end i7 if you are only gaming.

http://benchmarkreviews.com/3905/intel-core-i5-4430-cpu-lga1150-haswell-desktop-processor-review/13/

You can get the i5 4430 and still get competitive performance. It's 12570 rupees at theitdepot.com

If you want to do other things, like video encoding, the same review I linked shows that the i7 performs a fair bit better.

Please keep in mind, the i5 I linked will NOT overclock. For gaming, that's not a bit deal.

But I will also gonna need good gpu in this budget and am gonna do video encoding my 70-80% usage will be play games like crysis 3, gta v on ultra setting. I have few gpu's on my mind like geforce gtx650ti or geforce gtx 750 gddr5...

do you plan to overclock?

if so, i actually recommend going 3rd gen, a core i5-3570K will blow just about any 4th gen i5 outa the water

*sorry just read last line of post, but there is nothing really wrong with third gen, and it will save you a decent chunk of change

**now i am confusing myself

Yeah, but GTX 650TI should cut it for him on high because I just searched up his TV model the Sony LED W600 has a resolution of 1280x768 which imo is terrible but it's up to him

Show me the benchmarks please - IMO NOT TRUE. While the latest cpus are not great overclockers, they are clock-for-clock more efficient and more efficient power wise.

You are correct: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.40GHz
7,183 Passmark

Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.40GHz
7,812 Passmark

at that res I'd be tempted to try onboard

Yeah even my retired 7750 could get good frames at high at 1280x720

EasyLover · Feb 23, 2014

Dear go for i5 4670 CPU and just don't let TV as your baseline. Settle for GTX 660 or GTX 760.

it would free up budget for a better 'rest of system' and then get a gpu later, once the display needs it.

Should I go for Intel Core i5 3570k
or 4670k

EasyLover · Feb 23, 2014

abhi09 :

4670k.

Tnx for the Best Answer. The "new" cpus were not the best OCers but most will reach 4.5 GHz and some will go higher - luck of the draw. With the increase in architecture efficiency Haswell is the way to go - IMO.
