A 3770K cost $97 on the used market. A used $57 X5680 is 6 core/12 thread and will easily OC to 4Ghz. Gaming is really good at Max settings.

Not a problem at all. I'm running a GTX 1080.

 

I would not buy an 5690. They are more expensive than a 3770K. An X5680 will clock just as high with a good Mobo and cost alot less. Hell many people are running 4+Ghz on a $25 6c/12t X5650.
