Hi welcome to the forum, my recommendations will be base on what you do with your system, so you have to give more info about the software you run or expect to run on that PC

The i5 3570k is the perfect CPU for gaming and it'll do pretty good for video recording and editing. The i7 3770k would give you faster encoding times. Gaming wise it doesn't offer you any significant gain.

If all you going to do is high end gaming and watching movies and surfing the net maybe a little photoshop then the i5-3570K is a great cpu
I use it for my last build and it work great. The one that I'm going with now is a i7-3770K but I do a lot of graphic media with CS6 and android so it be perfect for me.
One great thing about going with the i5-3570K is you save $100.

Or if you can find a MicroCenter nearby, you can get the i7 3770k for the same price as the i5 3570k. 😉
