Does Core i7 4820K outperform Core i7 4770K

No problem.

You can get the 290X or the 780 if you like and make no mistake, they're awesome cards, but you know what I think now. You could save some money. :)

Yup. How about cooling those cards? Do I need a special case with a fan on each available side or can a use a simpler one (and quiter one which is important for me) that has one fan in front and one in the back by default?

I am talking about BITFENIX Ronin

This case has 4 additional slots for new fans but I would like to stick with 2 default fans if enough.

No, you don't need a side fan.
 
Letse think about getting a new front fan... Everything is very silent inside my rig (silver arrow, arctic extreme 7970,..) except my front fan and it makes a very annoying sound -.-

Did that fan come by default with your case? Its a different case than one I suggested btw...

So, getting back on topic, are you going to go for an i5 4670K now?

Yes I am. I saw a benchmark (dont remember the link anymore) that compared Core i7 4770K and Core i5 4670K quite thoroughly throughout several games and the 4670K was at 98% gaming performance of 4770K.
Thats a great result for being 150 dollars cheaper.

Exactly. When gaming, the i5 and i7 perform pretty much the same, so if you're solely going to be doing gaming, spending the extra on the i7 is pointless.
