3770k vs.4770k

[Xtreme Gamer]

For ease of OC'ing, and performance on editing/rendering, and gaming. Which out of the 2 do you guys recommend to me?

3770k all the way, Haswell is well known not to OC anywhere close to ivy bridge, also ivy bridge is cheaper

4770k

4770k, OC's less than 3770k but is better clock per clock, so a 5GHz Ivy = 4.6GHz Haslel

chances are, if you get a good overclocking 3770K, it might outperform a 4770K.

Out of the box, the 4770K beats the 3770K, but if you take into factor that there are services on ebay where they will delid and replace the crap intel TIM with new proper TIM, that will allow for better overclocking on Ivy, while on Haswell it won' t make that difference because of the fact that voltage is regulated right on the CPU.

My vote would personally go 4770K because I don't want to spend the extra cash, but if you are willing to, go 3770K

If you are willing to do some high overclocking on the 3770K it might be able to be faster than the 4770K since Ivy overclocks better than Haswell. If you don't want to do much overclocking and just want the best stock performance get the 4770K.

Personally I would buy the haswell as the newer generation stuff comes out in the new 12 months, Ivy is going to fall behind even more as the coming months go buy. Personally I just don't feel like buying in to older generation stuff is a good use of money, but then again I did buy a 7970 at the end of the 7000 series, but I had my reasoning for that.  Either chip is going to be great.

Definitely go with the Intel Core i7-4770K. Better all around performer but get a good CPU cooler.
