1. Should i buy an I5 4960k oc at 4.5 ghz in combination with a EVGA Gtx 780

 

2.Or an i7 4790k oc at 4.6 ghz in combination with a ASUS Gtx 770 

 

Simple Question ? =) can i play games like Crysis with the first and second combination on full settings ?

i know that an i5 dosnt has hyper threading but which combination is better for more fps on full settings :D

You can't say what you're going to OC to just so you know. My chip won't get past 4.2 on a custom loop. Also a 730 can't do anything. Get a 290 and 4690k.
