Best cpu to go for overclocking?

[tomshardwareuser]

so im building a new rig and thought whats the best for gaming and video editing
i5 3570k or the i7-3770k

 

[lhikary]

the i7-3770k

and video rendering

Generally speaking, the i7-3770k would be better because video editing / render programs can make use of Hyper Threading (HT) which can generally give anywhere between a 10% - 40% boost in performance depending on how well HT support has been integrated into the program's design.
