Hi,
i am building a new system, i'll be doing a little bit of video editing, photo editing, some gaming but mainly surfing the web.
I found the 4770k for 257 euros and the 4790k for around 295 euros.
Which one should i get?
I already bought an asrock z97 extreme4, i know the 4770k is compatible but are there any of this mobo features that i would miss getting the 4770k?
Thanks in advance, really getting an headache over this.
Bye!

Personaly i would invest the 37E difference in a aftermarket cooler, so my money would go for 4770k+cooler :) the sweetspot for the 4770k is arround 4,4 GHz, the OC gains above 4,4GHz are marginal. And for you, to reach 4,7 - 4,8GHz on either the 4770k or 4790k , you need watercooling ^^
