What will you be using the PC for?

The 4770(k) will out-perform the FX-8320 is almost any game or application but does cost twice the money.

It'd be nice to know what other hardware you'll be using and what the rig is for...

jamesriley94:
gaming and video editing
feronix:
i will maybe use the Gigabyte Z87X-OC for the intel
and the ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 for the amd
with and evga gtx 650 Ti Boost SC

Depends what you do more:

Video editing: 4770k. It's just quicker per core and with HyperThreading enabled it has 8 logical cores.

Gaming: Save yourself some money and get the FX-8320 or an Intel 4670k and spend some more money on a graphics card. The 650 Ti Boost is not all that great.

By the way, the Z87 chipset is for overclockers and you chose the non-K version of the 4770. Any Intel CPU that doesn't end with K or X is not overclockable. Also, the Z87X-OC is a motherboard specifically aimed at overclockers. You'll be better off with a standard Gigabyte motherboard or something like the MSI/ Asus Gaming series.
