4670k or 4770k?

Go to solution Solved by Si3Rra_7,

Then why go K ? try 4690 , or even lower tier i5 4440 if you're going with b85

i am planning to upgrade my CPU and motherboard

 

personally i prefer Intel because i have had a few problem with my AMD processor earlier

but i am confused between these two models

i5-4670k or i7-4770k?

 

except for the hyper threading feature I don't see any difference in them

but the price difference in India is around $100 (converting from Rupees)

 

also the motherboard that i am going to buy is "MSI B85-G41 PC Mate" just because i want to buy a ATX motherboard and that is my cheapest option

 

is it worth spending the $100?

since there are more and more software's and games that will support hyper threading in the future

even if you choose the i5 4670K

 

you need to pair it with a Z87 or Z97 mobo for OC

 

B85 is more for non-K series CPUs

I never plan to OC, 

but other than B85 which one is suitable for K-Series then

only Z series board are suited for K series CPU

 

if you don't want OC chip

 

go for this

is K meant for the sole purpose of OC?

is there no performance difference at all if not Over clocked?

and unfortunately 4690 is not available in India, thanks for the advice though
