You can still buy a K for the increased base and boost clocks. 

 

2700 would be fine though, if the i7 2700 actually existed xD Only the 2700K exists.

i7 3770 is great option, but i would look for a better option, and buy a motherboard that lets him overclock, you can find them used very cheap and then go for something like 2700k for example.

For the same price/performance the 3770(k) and 2700(k) I don't agree.

It'll be REALLY tough to match a CPU as good as them for 90-130$.

 

And assuming OP already has RAM, MOBO and the rest, it simply wont be worth getting new if he wants to save cash.
