They talk about OC for the 4770K because that is why you would spend the extra money to buy a K processor. If you are not interested in OC the either a 4770 or a 4771 would be the better choice. (4771 has been cheaper lately for some reason)

You have good CPU and motherboard in your current build and I don't see any reason to change them

Was using a 750gb and a 1tb barracuda a few years ago, they both failed some months apart.
To be fair i was using both as cache drives, so they both had wear and tear but neither of them survived 3 years.
After that, seagate lost me as a customer.
Especially considering my 15 year old Quantum fireball still boots windows 98 on a pentium 2 at work.-don't ask why i still have that.

well the only reason i am switching is because when i first got the pc and i put it together i messed up with the cpu cooler and put it in wrong (first build) and my comp would randomly just black screen and i had no idea what the problem was so i took it into a shop and got it "fixed" but now after i have got it back a few months later randomly things start to just crash like windows 7 or games that I am playing and it not like i am stressing the comp or anything it just freezes and makes things crash and i have got the bsod a few times :/ and I have done everything to try to fix this like send in my gpu so its not that bought new ram so its not that so it has to be psu,harddrive, cpu/motherbord and I have no idea so I decided i wanted to switch to intel anyway so yea... my life story in a nutshell lol
