I7 3770k VS i5 4690k

[Arcanekitten]

Hi

 

I've seen a second hand i7 3770k with a Asus Maximus V gene  and a antec kuhler H2O 620 with 16 GB of ram for 350 euro's

But new you can get a i5 4690k and a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-gaming 3 for 350 euro's.

What would be better for Gaming and doing a lot of online work (writing, watching youtube ect)

Also I currently have a FX 8350 with asrock extreme3 R2.0 but that thing is overheating at Stock so that a bust(And yes i've troubleshooted this A Lot so I am not starting to do that mess again.).

The GPU i use is a R9 290 Which in some games I experience bottlenecks from the fx 8350.

partly because its throttling at stock so had to set it to 3.9 ghz and 1.3 volts and also just bottlenecking my gpu in games like fallout 4 where it is capped at 90% usage and dying light, witcher 3(kinda) and Mad max too.

the core i5 will do fine but if you want to video edit the i7 will do better in some ways.

For your needs of gaming, and writing/youtube the 4690k is just fine.

But as I said If I can get the 3770k for the same price as the 4690k with a WAY better mobo and 16 gb of ram and a AIO  Cooler.

Would the i5 still be a better option or would the risk of the i7 not working be worth it? Keep in mind that this dude did sell 43 other products succesvol with rating.

You honestly cant go wrong with either. If you can trust the used 2nd hand seller than go for it.
