4770k vs 4670k

[hunterj1230]

I would like a little input on if the 4770k is really worth it over the 4670k. I will be mostly gaming, some little video editing and rendering, adobe cs6...etc

Case-Nzxt H440 

GPU- Asus GTX 770direct cu2

Ram- Gskillz trident 2400 mhz

Mobo- Asus maximus vi hero

Psu- EVGA 650 watt gold

Cpu Cooler- Most likely a Noctua Nh-D14 or Noctua NH-U14s

Storage- Samsung 840 evo 250 gb ssd

If you aren't rendering professionally, just save your money and get the 4670K. Besides, if you enable Cuda acceleration you won't notice the difference between the i5 and i7 because it will be so fast anyway

Depends on whether or not you need the extra threads. What kind of content are you working on?

Nothing much. Like youtube videos, photoshop, some after effects, and a little coding possibly. Probably just the 4670k will suffice I'm guessing

Should be fine with the 4670k in that case.

Go with a less expensive motherboard, motherboard doesn't impact performance, that money can be better used elsewhere in your build.  Also, RAM speed has very little effect on performance, go with some 1600mhz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5v RAM.  Also, you could go with a less expensive/powerful PSU.  550W of Bronze or better is enough for a single CPU and GPU.  Take all of that money you saved and get a GTX 780 or i7-4770k.

 

Unless you are doing professional work, or really want to cut down on rendering times, the i5 will perform adequately.
