i5 4670k or i7 4770k? (GPU gets affected)

[KuranM]

Hey guys!
Right now i'm in 2 minds, whether to go for i5 or i7.
I'm building this new PC because my computer needs to be upgraded however not sure about processor.

If i go with the i5, it means i can have GTX 760
If i go with i7, it means i go for 750ti

Here's i5 build: http://
Here's i7 Build: http://

I will be gaming on this machine but also streaming to Twitch.tv as well.

Suggestions please?
Kd

Edit: The games i play are ARMA 3 and im buying BF4

DEFINITELY the i5 + 760.

With the 750 Ti you'll get High at 1080p. With the 760 you'll get Ultra/Max at 1080p.

Somthing like this will give you better performance than the 4670 with a gtx 760 or a 4770 with a 750ti. It does eliminate the option to overclock later though. ALternatively, if you could afford to spend about another 30, I can do one with 4670k and a z87 board.

It actually came to about 40 more than your budget of 530, and with an amd video card. The 280x is almost identical to the 770 in terms of performance, and has 3g of ram vs the 2g thats standard on the nvidia cards under the gtx 780

You could drop the hyper 212 and save 25 there, and pick one up when it becomes necessary to overclock the cpu. 4670k at stock speeds will be more than enough for any game you want to play.

The thing is, i want to overclock because i forgot to mention. ARMA 3 is a game that i play quite a lot (reason why im upgrading) and it is really cpu intensive which is why i want to overclock. However i like the build you suggested but im not sure because i want a overclockable CPU :l

The i5 above is more than capable at stock speeds of running ARMA 3 well.
