What processor for a 7970?

[los]

So what processor would you recommend to go with a 7970? Also at what clocks?
I'm guessing maybe 8320/50 for AMD @ 4.5ghz, then a 4670k for intel also prob at about 4.5ghz?
Also what about 2 x 7970 would that need a 4770k or would a 4670k be ok?
This is for new games coming out, so I'm guessing as they should be able to use more cores 8320/50 and 4670k should be about on par?
Obviously the older games the 4670k will win.

Oh and I'm guessing an I3 or 6300 will bottleneck it?

Oh and what motherboard for the haswell is Z87 the best?

 

[los]

4770k @ anywhere from 4ghz+

is that for one or two 7970's?

Yeah I just read through that thanks, everywhere you look tells you different things lol.
I would never get a 2500k though as they are silly money a 3670k isnt much more new than tey go for second hand

I'm at 1080 at the moment. Cant see it changing in the near future. It's mainly for the newer games that are coming out as in gta5 bf4 and the next gen games with the exception of wow and humble bundle games but my 6300 runs them Ok. Ideally I would like a new motherboard then one of the new amds when released but they might not be am3+ so would rather get a guaranteed performer, rather than buying a motherboard now then having to geta new motherboard and then a new motherboard and processor in the not so distant future.

Well its starting to look like I'm probably better off just getting a decent motherboard for now then, so I can overclock a bit higher, then hope that steamroller stays as AM3+ like they said a while ago.
I keep seeing the 4670k being recommended even in £1000-1200 builds.
