Never realized how powerful the i7 is

So I recently got the i7 4770k, got the Asus z87-Pro with it. This thing completely changed my computing experience. Everyone always says "you don't need an i7".  Yeah I probably don't but it is amazing for rendering videos, which is something I do on a daily basis. I went from 1 hour rendering time for a 10 minute video to just under 6 minutes with the i7 4770k. Needless to say it payed for itself just by that. It can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, like earlier I was playing Diablo 3 max settings, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 on max settings, with sony vegas pro 12 open and Cs6 while recording and my cpu usage was less than 30%. If you are interested in seeing it come check out my video that I just mentioned.

 

Build: 

Case Fractal Define R4

Processor: i7 4770k

Ram: 8Gb Corsair 1333mhz

essentially, hyperthreading won't come up until new console cycle (I hope) where we might get hyperthreading support in games

there is a noticeable improvement

An DX11.1 Amd cards that run on Windows 8 should get a peformance boost.

So the Best setup for Bf4 would be an i7 4770k with an HD 7970 and Windows 8.

A lot of games benefit from hyperthreading, beta games run crappy on HT, that is why a lot of people state that games do not support it, but even bf 3 early version had no benefit, but when the game was done it ran fine, i mean crysis 3 is a game that works good with HT, even crysis 2 can use HT but not to a full extent, more games are should support HT in the future, because even if everyone states how AMD is the way to go for games, intel has more powerful cores, so you can balance that.
