Best CPU for Gaming

[hydroshad]

( Intel Only )
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have any good intel CPU's that you can tell me about that are around or above 4.2ghz.

The reason for intel is for the type of games I play. It works better than AMD CPU's.

My CPU right now: AMD FX 4170 Quad-Core Processor at 4.2ghz

I was thinking about that, but it's so expensive, are their any other options in mind?
BTW Thanks for responding so fast!

The non K version of the 4690 is also good, or slightly cheaper again the 4590 isn't too bad either.

Edit, oh you want 4.2 GHz, well there isn't really a cheap option except to say you don't need that higher clock speed to beat most AMD CPUs.

i5-2500K is the cheapest quad core overclockable intel cpu but its over 200 dollars

I'll look into all of these options you guys have given me, again thanks so much!

Its okay man, I think I'm going to go with the i5 4690k after all. It seems to be the best and I see many people using it.

Thanks for all your help!
