4770k or 4670k

[wazza1212]

Hello,

I am upgrading my pc, I have enough money to get an I 7 and. New motherboard, or an i5 a new motherboard and a h100i. I mainly game and do a tiny bit of video editing.

Which would be the best option?

Thanks in advance!:-)

i7 4770K, because you need the rendering balls

I'd go with the i5 if you're just gaming for the most part.
If you can, go for an nh-d15, it performs better than an h100i.
Are these the only things you're upgrading? What are the rest of your specs?

I recon you should go for a 4690K and a Z97 mobo along with a H100i, the newer en parts will be only a tiny bit more expensive.

Well right now you mainly game and do a tiny bit of video editing... For that reason i would go for the 4670K. But for whatever reason you start doing a lot more video editing, then i would go for the 4770K...

 

Have you considered the haswell devil's canyon ? 4690K or 4790K ? they have a better TIM and for that reason will achieve better overclocking and temperatures.

Okay thanks - I'll have s look at the prices when I'm home. So it's between the 4670k and their 4690k?

Depending abit in what you mean at tiny littlebit editing / rendering.

 

The i7, will definitely stretch his legs there over the i5, especialy 1080p rendering.

 

About the H100i, is a nice cooler, but the stock fans are terrible load, i think you can get cheaper aircooling solutions, for less money.

Like the Noctua NH-D14.

[wazza1212]

What about the NH-U14s?

What about the NH-U14s?

 

Thats a great cooler aswell

Offcourse the Dual Tower NH-D14 will be better, but still.

I already have a silver arrow - is it with buying a new cooler?

Go with an i5.  But do not buy anything more expensive than a Hyper 212 EVO for a cooler.  Haswell is such a crap shoot when it comes to overclocking, and sometimes temperatures are not your enemy.  Don't spend $100 on a cooler until you know that temperatures are the only thing holding you back from achieving better results.

Okay thanks! I'll get the I5!:-)
