Is the 4770 better or worse for gaming than the 4790?

4790 by slightly, it would more so depend on your gpu and ram. It's comes down to additional price vs slight performance increase.

i RETUIRNED THE 4790 because it ran to Hot, I'm very satisfied with the 4770. Just install as much RAM as you can affordHave FunChuck

280x is comparable to 7970, it might have some bottle neck. if you got a motherboard hopefully you got the FM2+ socket to upgrade the the a10-7850 or if you can get the 8350. but 760k is a good CPU to start with.

Just to add, EVGA has a CPU and Memory Support list for this MOBO: http://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/The 4790K is listed.

The 3960X is better..but between the 3970x nd the 4960X...The 3970X is better

I think depending on your application you may not notice a difference. If your doing a lot of post processing with your computer you may see some faster completion times with the 4820 as it's a more robust processor (a wee bit), but for general purpose usage you're not going to notice the difference.

Depending on what quality you want with your game. I'm just using one 780 and it plays bf4 on ultra just fine. Unless u want to do 4K maybe you will need 2 of those.

According to Tom's Hardware website: "This motherboard does support 4th and 5th generation Intel processors, so the i7-4790K would be fine".

There's a good compare of 970 and (worse than 4820) 4770K and 4770K is already better than 970. check cpuboss dot com. I'd run for the new one. Mine is simply amazing. I'm thinking about exchanging the HD to solid state. I work with audio (homestudio) and the CPU performs amazingly.

It has both but reports the integrated 7660G. Games when set to performance using the AMD graphics configuration will use the 7970M. By the way, don't forget to update your drivers.

Yes, the 7770 is crossfire compatable. It can be paired with a 7750,7770 and i would figure the new 7790 as well...

While I have not paired it with the fx 8350, I have paired it with the fx 6350, and there is not a single game I can't run right now. I play games such as Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and Titanfall on ultra settings on a regular basis. The only game that pushes my rig right now will be Watch Dogs, but the only upgrade recommended is the processor you are asking about. You should not have any trouble playing heavy games with this combo!

The 670 is slightly more powerful then the 760. But the 670 is $150 more. I'd be nore inclined to compare 670 vs 770 as they r in the same price range and the 770 is more powerful then the 670

The biggest improvement is in the TIM (thermal interface material) which will improve temp's, resulting in a better overclock. Many enthusiast replaced the TIM on the 4670K's and lowered their temps by 10-20*C. I haven't seen any benchmarks published but I would be surprised if there's more than 5% improvement on any of the test.Also, there is an improvement on the integrated graphics.

Depends what you're playing, I am running one of these and can run bf4 on ultra at about 80 fps on windows 8 with an i5 and 16 gigs of ram but if i were you, i would get one 780 not two 770's

Can't speak to the r9 specifically, but it does well w/ my 760 and 4770k. I wouldn't think the r9 draws significantly more power.

Depends.. Prolly the 780 for the price. But titan is still the king for the premium of single gpu power. I have two titans in my machine. My buddy has two 780's..we don't notice any difference to the naked eye in game speed.

I would have thought it were a 4700MQ, as the 4770S is a desktop processor. It would be nice if this website showed correct technical specifications... at least this Fangbook doesn't erroneously list an Apple A7 processor like some others on here!
