AMD or Intel, TBH it's hard to do a comparison because they are completely different. AMD is more for a budget and Intel is more for performance.

What currency?

Also, we need to know other things; what size case do you have (mid, full tower etc)? What are your current specs?

Did you have a budget for the rest of the parts, or do you know what you're getting and just want a recommendation for $300 worth of processor and mobo?

Just asking because a lot of people think an i5 around 200 dollars with a 150 dollar graphics card is a good idea.

That is a good combo and the 4670k is another $20 off if you buy it within 2-3 days with the coupon code on their site. If you live near a Microcenter, send me a PM and I will suggest better parts to get.

You can get entry-level Z87 for $5 more: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

OP, on a $700 budget you probably shouldn't be spending such a large portion on the CPU and board. You haven't given us many specifics, so it's hard to help you.
