Did i get i7-4770K or FX-9370? In my country (Serbia) i7-4770K is 375$ and FX-9370 is 262$. I will use my Computer ( R9 280X, 16GB RAM) for Gaming and entertainment and who's a better processor for Gaming and entertainment i7-4770k or FX-9370. Also i have a question that i have a cheaper procesor FX-9370 and to take a more expensive water Cooling or to take a more expensive i7-4770K and to get cheaper water cooling. Sorry for bad english, PLEASE HELP :)

i7 4770k/4790k, or i5 4670k/4690k. Avoid the FX.

The xx90k's will run cooler and overclock higher.

For gaming, there is nothing better than a i5-4690K.
It will run fine at stock for gaming.
If you want, a tower type cooler with a 120mm fan like the cm hyper212 will be all you need.
That will give you a modest and safe oc.

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D14 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
-----------------------end of rant--------------------------

I suggest a noctua nh-D15 or phanteks with dual 140mm fans.
Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well

Mine vs a friend`s (msi vs sapphire R9-290). But the case here is not about i5 , and that fx-9370 is waste of money.

Thank you all for your answers and that means i7-4770K is better than FX-9XXX Series? Does Cooler Master Nepton 280L can be cooled i7-4770k below 55 Degrees ? :)

Bad analogy dude :)  Because you can`t take a ferrari in a family trip or get the groceries from the supermarket home .,,

Well, you can, but you're right, the analogy wasn't perfect. ;)

Unless you took a fx 9xxx chip, you did nothing wrong.
