Should I get the intel i5 4670k or the intel i5 4670 (non k) for a gaming pc, I'm not overclocking

I need to pick one of these CPUs but i don't know which, I won't be overclocking and i want the best gaming experience using one of these CPUs with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Graphics card, so which one to pick??

Well obviously get the non-k version. The "k" series adds nothing for users such as yourself. For gaming i5 is much better value than i7.

If you are not going to OC, then get the non k version for around $10 (I think) less. That means you can also save a bit of cash on the motherboard too since you will not need to by mobo with a Z87 chipset.

The 4670 is passively clocked, I would definitely get a CM 212 Evo and go for at least a slight OC.

For 10.00 more get K version, you never know when you made want little more kick out the CPU, and agree with kore get EVO 212 one the best heatsniks for the money.

if you are absolutely sure you're not going to o/c and will never need up to 30% more performance from your CPU, then the non-k as the k only adds overclocking. With the non-k you can get a cheaper non-Z mobo, although if you are going SLI or Xfire, you'll still need a Z if you want two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots.
