Is it worth getting an i7 4770k for gaming?

[RagingCuppCakes]

Should i get an i7 4770k for my first gaming PC build or an i5 4670k and spend the extra 100 on a better graphics card? (possibly the GTX 770 or 780)

Thank you for you help

i5 4670k is a nice chip, but do you intend to overclock? If not an i5 4440/4570 with an Asrock B85 pro4 is a good option, giving you more money towards GPU. If you want i7 performance, the 1230 v3 I mentioned above is an option too and would still be about $80 cheaper than a 4670k, Z87 extreme4, and a Coolermaster 212 evo. A 4570 and B85 Pro4 would be roughly $135 cheaper. That price difference is about what the price difference is of an R9 270 vs a GTX 770.
