i5-4670k

 

The others are overkill for gaming and this will give you the best performance per dollar ratio, by far.

bf4? games start to utilize more threads. 4770k as a reasonable option, 3930k if you want to go extreme.

The money isnt the problems i have money for all of them.

 

 

for gaming you don't need that much of power i5 3570k is good or the fx 8350

will they be making huge performance difference on games?

What will be the best. Also in the future what you think?

 

4770k should just be fine for the next two years or so. the 3930k is overkill if you are just gaming.

what do you mean with overkill in gaming ( silly question ) ( sorry ) :(

 

at the moment no game actually utilizes the 6 cores and 12 threads of the 3930k. so you spend more money on a more powerful piece of hardware, that isnt actually needed to get the most fps out of games, at the moment. This might change in the future, for now the 4770k should do you just fine. Especially considering that you would need a extreme edition x79 motherboard, which is again much more expensive than a consumer grade z87 one.

he meant that if you're only going to game, it's not really necessary with that much power ;)

4770k i'd go for, but if you really really want extreme gaming and also a good processor for different things then the 3930k.

so an i7 4930K is only 10 GBP above the 3930K. Should i stick to the i7 4770K or something else.

How many cores does the 4930K uses? Aslo should i get such extreme proccessors for only pure gaming. ( including future in mind )

This is beginning to change rapidly. Within the next 2 years more and more games will be taking advantage of multiple cores. So 8 core is going to become the new quad soon.

this post change my mind i will go for the i7 4770k or the fx-8350. Which also intel is going to release 8 / 6 cores too

the 4930k has 6 cores (so says this page i found, lol), but you should stick with the 4770k. But there is Nothing wrong with getting the 4930k or any ivy bridge processors, they are faster than the 4770. But when you're gaming that kind of process power is not needed, therfore it's not really worth buying if you're only going to play on your computer.

Atleast for now. But if you want it too be somewhat future proof, the 4930k is a good choice

They are all good enough to play any game on 2 GPU's.

 

You need the 2011 to run more then 2 GPU's. 2011 is currently the only way to "4k game" on a game like BF4. The only reason I even bring this up is you said "extreme gaming".

 

With low level api's the 4770k and the 8350 and I5 will be more then enough at stock speeds. GPU's needed for 4 k gaming? Might go down to 3? We will have to see. 

 

The choice of chip should be based on how many GPU's you are gonna buy and what games you currently play and if you stream or not.

 

An I5 is enough for any 8 thread game (matches 8350) and kills the 8350 in older cpu bound titles like MMO's, RTS.

The I7 matches the I5 in non 8 thread games and is ahead of both chips in 8 thread games and streaming.

The 8350 is good in next gen games but poor in some older titles due to horrible FPU and can stream better then the I5 in next gen titles but gets the same FPS when not streaming.

2011 chips have more lanes for more video cards and typically OC to the moon due to solder on die, instead of TIM. The 6 core/12 threads aren't needed for gaming anytime soon but will render like crazy. Same with Haswell - E 8C/16T's come out

 

Buy based on what you do. The -E is only really needed if you are going to attempt 4k gaming which is in it's infancy and it cost BANK to due.

CPU:24/7-4770k @ 4.5ghz/4.0 cache @ 1.22V override, 1.776 VCCIN. MB: Z87-G41 PC Mate. Cooling: Hyper 212 evo push/pull. Ram: Gskill Ares 1600 CL9 @ 2133 1.56v 10-12-10-31-T1 150 TRFC. Case: HAF 912 stock fans (no LED crap). HD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB. Display: Dell S2340M IPS. GPU: Sapphire Tri-x R9 290. PSU:CX600M OS: Win 7 64 bit/Mac OS X Mavericks, dual boot Hackintosh.
