The i5 3570K cost $20 more than the i5 3750 and I'm not going to over clock anything so does the i5 3750K have any advantages other than over clocking? If not than I should just buy the i5 3750 and save $20?

unlocked multiplier is all you get from the K, if you are not overclocking, you have nothing to gain by spending the extra money.

Thank you but if I think I need to overclock the i5 3750 I am going to build another computer with the i7 but that has got to be over a year away. Thanks again.
The price isn't too far away from each other between 3570 and 3570K correct? Then why not just get 3570K? You could even overclock slightly with the stock cooler.
How many threads have you started about CPUs? Also seen your thread asking for a motherboard recommendation - are you planning on doing a build or something?
Anyway, to answer the question, I'd always take the 3570K regardless of whether you intend to overclock immediately or not. You may buy it and think you'll never overclock it, but later on you might want to try overclocking to get better performance, and if you bought a 3570 you'd be a bit stuck, but if you got a 3570K you could overclock it right away (so long as you have a good motherboard and cooler to match).

it is not hard to get i5 3570 without K to 4.2GHz

I only recommend i5 3570K if you are doing extreme overclock like overclocking it over 4.5GHz, otherwise save 20$ and pick i5 3570
And to answer your question, i5 3570K has absolutely no advantage over i5 3570 other than overclocking.

If your budget for the system you want is boarderline over 20 bucks, get the 3750. If not spend the extra 20 and get the K model, nener know if you might change your mind.

I don't think I would call a OC to 4.5 GHz extreme.
