Having trouble deciding which of these I should get. I'm not planning on overclocking, mainly ganna be playing mmos and the sometimes free games you get by doing facebook stuff through nvidia or someone like that, and some photoshop(not too much though).

Intel Core i5-4670 Processor (4x 3.40GHz/6MB L3 Cache)

or

Intel Core i5-4670K Processor (4x 3.40GHz/6MB L3 Cache)

Any input or advice is welcome, thanks!

If you're not overclocking, don't get the unlocked CPU. You can save money by getting a cheaper motherboard and using a stock cooler. You can also get the Xeon E3-1230 V3, which is essentially an i7 4770 for a lower price without integrated graphics.

that is a server processor, it may not perform properly compared to 4670 / 4670k

Here's an even cheaper Xeon that is almost identical to a i5-4670. And since it has no integrated graphics, lower power consumption!
