Core i5 4670K from Kingston offers solid performance for gaming. It runs efficiently on a 500-watt power supply and pairs well with high-speed storage options. For your needs, the i5 7400K provides better thermal management and reliability, making it a strong contender if you plan to keep up with modern AAA titles like Assassin's Creed. Both CPUs can handle gaming, but the 7400K may offer a smoother experience with its improved cooling design.
None of these options would work for smoothly playing Assassin's Creed on systems with six or more cores.
They're quite similar, so the 4670k is a solid choice. If you run it, it should perform even better. Unless you opt for an iGPU, but I personally find both to be decent but not outstanding.
They both struggle heavily with the new Assassin's Creed titles, regardless of GPU power, since the game demands 8 threads to maintain smooth performance at around 60 frames per second or higher.
The 4670K is a bit newer yet boasts significantly faster clock speeds. It would handle games more effectively, and even without overclocking right now, you could adjust your settings later to achieve a moderate boost. This alone would maintain its edge over the 4670K.
This board supports the 7th generation Intel i7 processor. It offers strong performance with its high clock speed and robust power delivery. You can expand the RAM and PSU as planned, but upgrading the CPU is not possible due to its architecture. The motherboard provides solid connectivity and stability for gaming setups like Assassin's Creed.
