Looking to upgrade the feeble CPU on my gaming rig.
I can get a 3770K + Motherboard for probably $300-$350 from a co-worker who is leaving for the military and looking to sell his computer or part it out in about a month. His PC cost him about $1,800 for someone to build it (although I think he got ripped off by about $500). Motherboard looks nice, capable of Crossfiring, unlike my current AMD build and the i5 builds.
On the other hand I was looking to get a 4690K or a 6600K around Black Friday on Newegg or Amazon. Right now the 6600K is $270 on Newegg or $254 on Amazon. The 4690K is $240 on Newegg and Amazon.
Off Amazon I can get 6600K+Motherboard ($86) for $340. Or the 4690K+Motherboard for $340 or less.
Regardless of the build, I plan to keep my DDR3 RAM, so the DDR4 with the 6600K is not a factor. I don't have any plans to crossfire, but it wouldn't hurt to have the option.
I have an Evo 212 for any overclocking on either one.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if both of these were discounted a bit more Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
Leaning more towards the 6600K, but wasn't too sure.
