Intel Core i5 3570 vs Intel Core i5 3570k

Solution
Why are you looking at last gen chips? If you are gaming, the IGP doesn't matter, as you should be using a dedicated GPU anyway. For i5's the i5 4570 is a great deal right now.

Ehm, mostly mid level gaming, and other unintensive things, like coding, etc. I'm concerned because, although not much a price difference, it just interests me to know more about what i'm buying, so the non k version is "locked" then?
