Which of them is the best for gaming with my gtx 760........is there any huge difference between them in the basis of gaming performance??????
 
Solution
4570 is good.

Reasons to get the 4570:


  • Supports trusted computing

    Higher Maximum Operating Temperature 72.72 °C vs 67.4 °C

    Better PassMark (Single core) score 2,068 vs 1,847

    Better turbo clock speed 1,150 MHz vs 1,100 MHz

    Better 3DMark11 physics score 6,918 vs 5,930

    Better performance per dollar 5.21 pt/$ vs 4.33 pt/$

    Marginally newer

What's your budget for CPU and motherboard?

The 4570 would be the better choice.

Newer socket (LGA 1150 compared to the 3450's LGA 1155), newer instruction sets, 100MHz faster on base and turbo clocks, around 7% better performance from architecture improvements.

They perform very similarly. My suggestion is to get the one that works best for your budget. Keep in mind they use different sockets, so you'd have to get a socket 1155 motherboard for the i5 3450 and a socket 1150 motherboard for the i5 4570.

Additionally, if you want to upgrade to a new processor within a year or two then you should get the i5 4570 as socket 1150 will be compatible with the next Intel CPUs, Broadwell. Though I would argue that for the average gamer the CPU won't need an upgrade that quickly.

More technical:
i5 4570: Slightly faster stock clock rates and slightly better IPC, making it overall faster, but not by a lot. No OverClocking at all.
i5 3450: +400mhz limited OverClock is possible, meaning you can easily give it a mild overclock to 3.9Ghz compared to the i5 4570's 3.6Ghz. You will need a "Z" chipset motherboard to do this. (Z75/Z77)
