I have seen many benchmarks for gaming and it looks like the over clock is not even worth the effort. The .4 fps difference is not that appealing should I just buy a regular i5 4670 and have the same performance as a stock 4670k? What other CPu from Intel can I get with a price tag lower than the 4670k and have similar performance? The fx 6300 ain't cutting it and the 8350 is not as big of an improvement as I had hoped. Thanks

i5-4670 is a good cpu, and honestly if you don't see the use in/have no intention to overclock, you don't need an unlocked cpu like the 4670K. Save some money and get the i5-4670 or i5-4130, then use that saved money towards a better graphics card. You will get much more of an fps increase from a better graphics card than a better/overclocked cpu.
with lower price tag you get less performance,i7 is difference story.i both with "K" cause i cant wait for ,without "K"it didnt change a lot,but with sli and overclock makes big different. i newer had amd cpu.radeon yes and it was low pc and i sik with ati and all that ccp always stop wrokin.maybe just me for now im done with radeons and AMD"S.:)
