Hello,
I have been looking at upgrading to a faster Intel CPU to replace my old AMD. I have been looking at benchmarks between the 3570K and 4670K and they seem to be roughly similar performance wise.
Though I am trying to save as much money as possible, and it looks like I can get the 3570K for about $20 less. On top of that, I seem to be able to find Z77 boards by MSI for about $80 where as decent (going by reviews) Z87 boards cost around $110. So I can save about $50-60 going with the 3570K.
My question is the 4670K worth an extra $50-60 over the 3570K? Are there other advantages that the 4670K and its socket bring to the table that the older 3570K lacks?
