i5 4670k vs i7 4770k for Gaming

shoomee · Mar 22, 2014

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3etKV here is my build at the moment...

What I would like to know if this would run games very well. Or do I need the i7?

Thank you!

The i7 will give you very little improvement for gaming, it's not worth the extra cost. It has hyperthreading, which games can't take advantage of. Overall nice build, but I'd recommend ASUS over EVGA for the GPU, just because the cooler is better.

You could max out just about anything.

There's no real difference between a 4770K and a 4670K in the huge majority of titles.

I would say i5 4670K is enough to play games @ high to Ultra Settings Easily

The i7 will perform better in games that can use more than 4 cores. But there are very few games that can do that. Very few.

2500K/2700K difference. http://www.techspot.com/review/458-battlefield-3-performance/page7.html

I can't see it being as vast as 8-10FPS on Haswell.

ok I also changed my power supply to a 750 gold by seasonic. I figured with my GPU it may be smart!

You don't need that, you'd actually be okay with a 550W, but I would get a 650 just to be safe and to give you more room to overclock. The 750, however, is unnecessarily powerful, unless you plan to add a second GPU later, in which case you would probably want an 850.

Agree 650W could be best choice

Nightman :

The only reason I was going to was because the GTX 780 said that it needed a minimum of 600w on the Nvidia website. But as long as you know it will be able to run this monster card Ill go with the 650.
