Greetings!

So im wondering whether i should get a i7-2600K OR i7-3770K 

I will not be overclocking and i will use the standard fan that comes with the cpu untill i can afford a Zero Infinity Phantom knight.

I am also going to buy a GTX 780 to use with my motherboard.

The system will pretty much only be used for gaming and streaming: SC2, BF4, Watch_Dogs, and other games in general.

 

 

 

 

If more information is needed for more accurate advice please let me know.

Thanks for the advice!  :)

3770k is going to be better.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

If you're not overclocking get a Xeon E3 1230 v2 it's a processor identical to the i7 3770 but with no integrated GPU but it's 100$ cheaper.
Put that 100$ towards a more powerful graphics card and the result will be far better performance in games.

Unfortunately it's already sitting in my pc :/

But i'll keep that in mind for my next build :)
