I5 4670 vs i5 4670k

[sheratchet]

Why do people reccomnd the i5 4670k more then the i5 4670?

 

[MOG2020]

the k means unlocked multiplier, if your going to overclock get 4670k if not get the non k version, but most if not all people are going to tell you to get the 4670k, and I recommend it too, you will love it.

i5 4670K: The K signifies that the CPU is capable of overclocking.

i5 4670: The "non K model" represents the CPU alone and is not capable of Overclocking.

Overclockable CPUs are usually recommended to gamers, enthusiasts, or the people that feel they need the extra performance. It's usually a issue that involves a better Value CPU.

If i didnt over clock the i5 4670k will it still play like a i5 4670?

 

[MOG2020]

yes the 4670k not overclocked would perform/play the same as 4670

Yes it would! 😀

 

[sheratchet]

will it increase game play of how it looks?

 

[griptwister]

General consensus, Yes. But it primarily depends on what graphics card you have, and what CPU you currently have, you may be able to turn up more settings and notice a difference. What is your current graphics card?

 

[MOG2020]

When the 4670k is not overclocked it with play like the 4670, but when overclocked it will player better the 4670 plus if you have a decent graphics card it will do what ever you want to do with it.

im choosing between a gtx 770 2gb vs a 7950 3gb

 

[MOG2020]

gtx 770 will beat the 7950 in everything.

 

[sheratchet]

so gtx 770 with a i5 4670 is good?

Get a R9 280X. It'll kill the GTX 770 at a even better price point. Lol.

 

[sheratchet]

would u think it will fit in my mother board?
MSI H87M-G43 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

[griptwister]

Yes, any modern GPU would fit onto that board. The real question is, how big is your case, or what case are you using?

 

[sheratchet]

im going to be using a corsair 300r atx mid tower

 

[griptwister]

Oh yeah! Lol, you'll be able to fit a Beefy GPU in there! Have fun with your new rig! Also, I believe the r9 280X can run in crossfire with not only another r9 280X, but a HD 7970. So later down the road, if you want a second GPU and AMD works out the kinks in their drivers, you could save yourself a good bundle on a second GPU.
