-Intel i5-3570k Ivy Bridge 3.4 GHz Quad Core

The 3570k is amazing price/performance. the 3770k is $ 100 more and is only better for many apps, “i5″ and “i7″ don’t mean anything.

Answer by C-Man

For gaming, the Core i5 3570K is ideal.

Core i7 processors have the EXACT SAME gaming performance as Core i5 processors. They are more expensive because they support hyperthreading, which improves performance in specialized applications like video editing software and 3D design programs (AutoCad, Maya, Blender etc) But hyperthreading does NOT provide any performance benefit in games!

You’re much better off getting a Core i5 and putting $ 100 more into your graphics card instead- because 70% of your overall gaming performance is determined by your graphics card. The combination of a Core i5 3570K with a $ 230 graphics card (like a GeForce GTX 660) utterly smokes a Core i7 3770K with a $ 130 graphics card like a GeForce GTX 560 SE or Radeon HD 7770.
