Need some help for picking out a CPU.

[Spex]

I'm going to be replacing some core components from an old PC to be able to atleast play some games on high settings for a change. I've got a budget of about 400€ and I'm trying to get the most for the money I'm spending, without cheaping out on specific components like the MOBO. So, the GPU's gonna be the ASUS HD7770 TOP that costs 120€ meaning that's 280€ left for the CPU and the MOBO.

So, here's where I don't know what to do. I could go either ADM or Intel for CPU. This build is going to be for GAMING mostly, so that's what I want, the optimal gaming experience. Here's the thing, I probably won't be over clocking the CPU so I'm questioning if it's even worth buying the unlocked i5 or just go for a normal i5. Here are the i5 processors available for me, the one on the top being the cheapest and the one on the bottom being the most expensive:
- i5 4430
- i5 4440
- i5 3340
- i5 3470
- i5 3330
- i5 3570k
Here are the available AMD processors for about the same price range, again the one on the top is the cheapest:
- A10-5700
- A10 6800k
- FX-8320
- FX-8350
- FX-8150
So, which one of the CPUs listed above would give me the best performance for gaming, combined with an ASUS 7770 TOP GPU without over clocking. Also, the money left from that 400€ I'd spend on a MOBO, so have that in mind if for example the difference is only about 5 fps or something from 2 different models (4430 against the 4440 for example) I'd rather save the 20€ than give 20€ for that tiny boost in performance. Thank you guys in advance for the replies.

P.S. here's the website I'm going to get the components from:
-for Intels' i5 http://www.mimovrste.com/katalog/index.php?cat_id=80&orderby=priceasc&midl=null&ff_1366=15
-for AMD processors http://www.mimovrste.com/katalog/index.php?cat_id=80&orderby=pricedesc&ff_1366=null&midl=2578

If you are going to game most of the time spend more on gpu not cpu because gpu is mostly crucial for games not cpu. For example amd fx 6300 should give u enough grunt to run all games out right now id say save extra 100 from cpu and spend it on gpu.

Thank you for the fast reply. Unfortunately I don't have that CPU available at the moment so pick one from the ones listed above. So you're saying that even the lowest i5 wouldn't slow down the game at all (have in mind that I'm thinking of games like BF4) and that it would be better to invest the saved 45€ into the GPU? Would the performance (I'm aiming on FPS here) be better?

The difference between AMD and intel for gaming.
Firstly, you need to decide what your priorities are, and what you will use the PC for.
Things such as: light gaming, heavy gaming, basic work (e.g. MS Office), heavy work (e.g. video editing, 3d modeling).
For the most part in current games the biggest difference will be made by the selection of the GPU.

The AMD FX CPU's have many cores, which are weaker.
intel i5's have less cores, which are stronger.

The intel's consequently have better performance per core. In older games, the intels perform much better as those games are optimised for good performance with only a few cores (single-threading).
In newer games, the AMD FX's really shine due to the introduction of games using more cores (multi-threading).

The difference comes in depending on what you want to use the PC for. If you're on a tight budget, save some money and go with the AMD and spend the extra money on a better GPU that will give you better performance than any CPU could.

i5: Good for older games (single-threaded), Good for newer games (multi-threaded), Good for general work, great all-round CPU and probably the best around for current games (may change in future).
AMD: Slightly worse for older games (single-threaded), Great for newer games (multi-threaded e.g. BF4, Crysis 3), Good for light/heavy work, extra cores are great for 3d modeling and video editing or rendering, great CPU whilst costing much less than the intel. Even though it's worse in older games it will run them perfectly well and smoothly.

Regardless, both will perform well.
For an i5, I would recommend an i5 3570k or a 4670k. Why? They are king for gaming performance at the moment and since they are the k version they are unlocked and can be overclocked in future for a performance boost.

For an AMD, I would recommend a FX 6300/8320/8350 [Do NOT go with a bulldozer CPU, only piledriver. List here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piledriver_(microarchitecture) <-- That should all be one link, not sure why it splits.]. Why? Great multi-threaded performance for newer games and heavy work, are just fine in older games (not overkill, can deliver smooth frame rates maxed with a good GPU), and are great for productivity with a tame pricetag.

In conclusion, budget gaming/work: AMD. Not on a budget gaming/work: i5. The i5 currently delivers better performance but don't get the impression that the AMD is lagging behind. They are great for gaming and work with a really great pricetag, just not currently up there with intel. In newer games though such as BF4 the AMD's have caught up in performance and in some cases deliver better performance than the intel's for much less money.
Either solution will game just fine with a nice GPU, focus mainly on that.

Wait little longer and see what others have to say in tomshardware i think most agree that spending more on gpu will give more performance in games.

Yep, I'm gonna wait a few days to see what others have to say, other than that I've found a pretty good GPU if I'm gonna go for the i5 4430, that's the ASUS AMD Radeon R7 260X.

Also, JOOK-D, if that's the case I'm gonna go for the i5, since I do use some photo editing software and some light video editing (I mostly use Photoshop and Light Room). You guys've actualy made the picture about AMD clearer, I didn't think they caught up so fast to Intel.
