i7 4770 or i5 4670 (don't want to overclock) [GAMING]

Czuth Gabor · Sep 15, 2014

So the question is given.

The difference in price is like 10$, (because the i7 is OEM).

I mainly want to use it for gaming only. I don't want to overclock, just using the Turbo mode, which means i don't need K version. Which one is more futureproof, ( i know hyperthreading is not a thing atm ).

Getting an ASRock H97M Pro4 as a mobo, (got Silencio 352, so i need mATX and i found this best)

Also i want to mention again, the difference is only 10$, got Hyper T4 for cooling.

Thanks guys.

i7 4770 if it is only 10$ more

Neither, if you aren't overclocking look for a Xeon E3-1230 or a Xeon E3-1231. They offer pretty much the same performance as an i7 for the cost of an i5.

It has Hyper-threading which is extremely helpful for increasing performance now, and will help the system last longer. It makes a huge difference.

Go for the i7 4770, so much better than i5 for only 10+!!

Since the price is pretty much the same with the i5, I'd say getting a Xeon isn't the right decision.

Are the components will be okay? (i only used AMD builds before)

Mobo: ASRock H97M PRO4
CPU: Intel i7 4770 3.4GHz
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x4Gb 1600 MHz (khx1600c9d3/4g)
VGA: MSI R7850 2GD5 ( will be improved later to a R9 280x )
PSU: Corsair CX 430 ( will be improved with the VGA )
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB

Sure thing, the dealer doesn't selling Xeon processors, and now the i7 4770 oem is on sale till october

TechyInAZ · Sep 15, 2014

Yep, looks nice.

Except for that PSU, the worst you can buy. Your gona want at least a 600W psu with that graphics card. Get a SeaSonic 620W psu.

Czuth Gabor · Sep 15, 2014

I converted the prices:

i7 4770 - 250$
i5 4670 - 238$

Czuth Gabor · Sep 15, 2014

The PSU is okay, i sold my AMD configuration ( got the same VGA in it ), it has got an old FX 8120 Bulldozer, the tdp was 120W on it, as i see the i7 got 84W

TechyInAZ · Sep 15, 2014

Czuth Gabor :

Defiantly get the i7 4770, that is a really really good deal.

Czuth Gabor · Sep 15, 2014

Also i want to ask something else ( i know i should get a new PSU for that ). What about the devil's canyon series, i mean the i5 4690k, with ASRock Z97M PRO4, with slight OC, since my case is NOT that good, and i don't want to invest in Water Cooling. Is that a new architecture or something like that?

i5 4690k - 242$

IInuyasha74 · Sep 15, 2014

Wow yea at $250 little more needs said. That is an excellent deal, these things last forever too since performance is increasing very very slowly in new CPUs. So that thing will last you several years.

TechyInAZ · Sep 15, 2014

Czuth Gabor :

Only get devils canyon if you can get the i7 4790K for the same deal. Since the i7 haswell will still beat the i5 4690K even overclocked a little.

Czuth Gabor · Sep 15, 2014

Thanks guys!

I guess i'll go with the i7 4770!

Appreciated!
