3770 vs 3570k

[Excon]

I have the option to make a trade CPU for CPU. Should I do it? I know ill miss out on overclocking but I think ill get more use of the i7 with recording gameplay and stuff. What do you guys think?

I would do the swap, and try to overclock the 3770 by entering a higher base clock. 

Heineygoat managed to get a stable 4.2Ghz overclock: http://linustechtips.com/main/statuses/user/8289-heineygoat/?status_id=3919

 

But if you're just gaming, it's not worth the hassle.

Get the 3770, or ask them if you can spend like 30 euros more or how much it is to get a 3770k? If youre trading with a person then that wont be possible but i'd still change for the 3770,
