I am looking to build my first Hackintosh (replacing a Mac Pro 4.1) and am undecided on which would be the best CPU I5-4670K or I7-4770K. I want to be able to play the latest games and have it be expandable as well as being a work horse for Photoshop. If I have to chose the MOST desired activity it would be kick*** gaming. Photoshop is just for work so I can spend a few more seconds waiting for things to render if necessary. Here is what I currently have, any comments or help would be appreciated.
