I'm planning a new build and the price of it is waaaay over budget, i know for a fact that AMD's processor equivalents are cheaper than intel's. So my question is what is the AMD equivalent to a over-clockable quad core processor (similar to the i5 4670k) and what is a good motherboard to go with it. the CPU must have the ability to be over-clocked and the motherboard must support crossfire but SLI is optional/not really needed. My price budget it £500 and this is my current selection:

Thanks for all your help and any other suggestions to lower the price or increase the performance of this build are greatly appreciated!

there is no i5 4670k equivalent. amd cpus are WELL behind intel. if you wnt a cheap overclockable cpu then go with the Intel Pentium g3258.
