Which of these prcessors would give me the best value, I do plan on doing a slight overclock.

The 4670K will give you more power a core per core, and will be a bit more money. The 8350 will be a little better in multi-threaded programs.

My preference is the 4670K. Quality over quantity.

I will suggest you to go the gigabyte for both platform since you're doing the OC....
gigabyte has the dual bios technology which secure you more than the other brand. and gigabyte Z87 has the higher OC potential.

I5 gives better OC performance than the AMD now.....

go for I5

8350/8320 are one of the best ocers out there. Haswell is one of the worst ones....

go for I5

What? Amd has always been know for good ocer.
here are some compaison based on what u will do
single threaded app: i5
multi(4+ aka rendering) threaded app: fx
older games: i5
newer games(aka bf4): similar but i tend to lean towards amd(mantle)
streaming?: amd
Want OC tax(aka K ): Intel

Go with a 990fx chipset motherboard paired with an AMD 8 core CPU. You wont be able to play future games such as Watchdogs on ultra with that i5!

If minor OC then intel is still better. (I am not Intel fans!)
minor OC on AMD is a waste!

FX 8350 if you want more horse power for multitasking and rendering and compressing videos, also, if you choose this one, according to AMD future games will all be optimized for AMD, since the Xbox One and PS4 have both AMD chipsets, so technically, games will be automatically optimized for AMD, also for the Mantle API that promises to destroy Directx. AMD can handle some good overclocks.

I5 is good too, have some amazing performance, can do some amazing job in overclocking without heating too much. It pretty much depends on waht you're going to do, if multitasking, go for AMD, if for gaming, I'd recommend the I5.

I do tons of multitasking would that make a difference

Yes, AMD fx 8350 has more cores, so in this case, more horsepower.

If this is the case the go for the AMD
