I5 3570k vs. i7 3770k

[daily1994]

Hello, I'm back to Tom's Hardware to ask another question. I was wondering which would be the best for heavy gaming, some rendering, and real heavy multitasking, the i5 3570k or the i7 3770k. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Gaming the 3570K but counting in the other things 3770K.

It really depends on what you are doing. The i7 is faster but the question is, is it really worth the extra money? The i7 is great for
things like video editing. Although the i7 does not have very much of an advantage with gaming, I would recommend the i7.
