Should I buy a CPU for overclocking?
Intel Core i7-4770 is like 20 bucks cheaper than Intel Core i7-4770k. I have no experience at all with overclocking.
Is it worth overclocking for some fraps?
Only if you have cpu watercooling, otherwise enjoy your housefire.
I have never understand why people overclock their cpus. An i7 4770 is more than suficient to anything, then why I would OC it and spend an extra so it don't melt my case?
If I don't want to overclock and don't want to pay i7 prices.
But still want a cpu that can handle gaming and some other side applications.
Can I go too wrong with a Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor?

no. overclocking is a meme
MEDIOCRE!
If you don't overclock then get a Xeon and enjoy the hyperthreading

Hey tripdub, I run this chip and it's been great, slightly hot at idle though.
Why even get a 4770 then, a core II quad is $280 less.

I'll get it then

>s it worth overclocking
No.
Thats only for manchildren that spend too much time touching their penises at the sounds of jpop and the touch of an animu pillow waifu.
Even if you don't overclock I think the 4770K come out of the box 500MHz faster than the normal 4770.

The 4770K is like 150 bucks more expensive though
