[thanossapiens]

Hi guyz,
i want to complete my build and i have came to this:

I7 3770K & GTX 570
OR
I5 3570K & GTX 580

which do you think that i shall get?the pc would be for gaming(mostly), photoshop and a bit video editing...

Thanks

i strongly recommend to get i5 3570k with that gpu, there is not a massive difference between 3770k vs 3570k.... games originally need gpu power..

yea i know but wouldn't H/T help in photoshop?

 

[xtreme5]

not really.

LOL, you can't go wrong. The 580 is a stronger gaming card. Both CPUs will game the same. Since you are mostly gaming go with the 580 at the same price.

But really, you can't go wrong with either pair with any normal monitor configuration.

edit: here's a photoshop benchmark http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-3770k-i5-3570k_7.html

69.5 vs. 68.2 seconds. Seems like a dead heat to me. You can also look at the other benchmarks, some the i7 is faster.

Could you not do an i5 3570K and a GTX 670?
