Why bother? Games don't use hyper-threading, so unless you are going to also be doing Photoshop, Premeire/Aftereffects, 3D modelling, music recording or any other CPU intensive application work, the i5-3570k plays games identical to the i7-3770k.

TL;DR It's a waste of an extra 100$ if you are not going to be using the machine for heavy application use.
