I don't want to overclock, I have no interest in it. However my computer came with the intel i7 3770

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

And I was wanting to make sure it was good for gaming and an all around good CPU that will handle all the games that come out in 2013 (with a great GPU ofcourse). Thanks.

(I was going to get that six core AMD but decided to go with Intel, good choice/worth cost?)

It is better than anything AMD offers and matching it with a good GPU it is a good gaming rig.

"Ok" at gaming doesn't sound too good.

I was hoping with a good GPU I'd be playing everything on Max settings.

Your name is everywhere on this forum man.

So with a good GPU It'd handle MAX on pretty much all games?

Just as good at gaming as I5! Just has hyper threading which games do not use.

I was looking at the EVGA 600 series. Sadly I have a microATX case though, so the only thing I've found that will fit is the SSC ti 650. Probably will be getting a larger case. I'm fond of the HAF's.
