Both are Priced at $266.67

What should be my best choice?
Both have warranties 

I plan to buy a good cpu cooler a month or so for OC.

PLUS, should I also consider an i5 4690k + an ECS GANK Z87 MACHINE for $10 more?


Other Specs
-GTX 960 ( I plan to SLI )
-120GB samsung 840 SSD
-1TB HDD
-Seasonic m12ii 750w (really SLI xD )

i5 4690k @ 3.5Ghz | Stock Cooler :/ | ECS Gank Machine Z87H3-A2X EXTREME | Gskill RipjawsX 8GB 1600Mhz | MSI GTX 960 100th ME 2GB | Samsung 840 Evo 120GB | 1TB WD Caviar Blue | Seasonic m12ii evo 750W | Razer Modded Phantom 410

The 3770k would be the better buy.

3770K without a doubt.

 

PLEASE do not SLI a 960. You would be better off selling a single 960 and buying a 980 or something. The 960s might give better power at full tilt, but full tilt is rarer and rarer these days. And that pathetic 128-bit memory bus shouldn't be even close to a card in the hierarchy the 960 is.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
