Guys, I'm searching for a computer within the $2000/$2200 range (NZ dollars, about 1750 US dollars), and I found these two computers, and I'm not sure which to buy :)

They're both really similar, except the first is an i5 4570k with a gtx-780 GPU. The other is i7 4770k with ATI R9 280x.

I don't really game seriously, and wish to have a dual (or triple) screen setup. I also wish to overclock my CPU to about 4.3 GHz.

Please help me decide which one's better. Thanks :)

Well the i5 4670k + GTX 780 setup is by far the better gaming computer. The i7 setup is faster overall and would be better at rendering, video editing, 3D design, etc... or pretty much everything but gaming.
