mmm it might be in that case but what are you using it for? gaming editing rendering etc

[SirRoderick]

You're planning to OC that stuff? You need rendering for video etc? The CPU is overkill for gaming alone

Go with the i7 and the Hero motherboard, Formula is not worth it imo.

Nonono, not i7, go with an i5

[MeepMeep]

i know its overkill but i upgrade  after 4 /5 years or more so whan i upgrade i always do overkill  so that i can  sick around longer hheheh and yes i do OC  it  my i7 950 runs at 4.1 ghz for 4 years strait now 

[Karumu]

do you video edit / render / stream, if you are just gaming go with the 4670k, as games at the moment do not use the hyperthreading

[DJHoro]

I would say wait it out a little longer Until DDR4 is out. That way you wont feel like you upgraded too soon. Too much new stuff is getting/got announced for this year.

[MeepMeep]

realy then i will wait for the new  stuff hehehe  if ddr4  is released this year  and  new  processors  

i render some stuff  for my dad  autocad   2/3 t a week  so thats why i go with an i7 becouse my olde one becomes a bit slow now

and i stream some games to twitch

id say go with the 4770k because the stuff that comes out later in the year is going to cost allot more because its new

 

few motherboards to look into that might be a good starting point

gigabyte z87x ud3h ud4h and ud5h

asus sabertooth or the ROG series if your budget can fit it

msi gaming series or mpower

 

basically any of the above boards will be good and cost effective
