Is the only difference the ability to overclock or are there more benefits to buying the K over the original one.
i7-4770k vs i7-4770

They're the same thing. The K is unlocked for overclocking.
i7 4770 locked
ARK | Intel® Core
i7 4770K unlocked
ARK | Intel® Core
Personally I'd steer clear of the new tech for 6 months or so. Let others test drive it and see if there's any problems with it.

Thanks.. It says its .1 GHz difference but I don't think it matters for rendering. To be honest this might sound stupid but I'm nervous to overclock because I need my next build to last for 5 years (which is far fetched) and I'm afraid I'll burn it down 
I'm thinking about getting this rig for video editing. Your opinions?

CPU: Intel i7-4770 3.50 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo Gaming Cooling Fan
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200 RPM HDD
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair Vengeance)
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ IRST, Military Class 4, OC Genie II, 7.1 Sound Blaster Cinema Audio, Killer E2205 GbLAN, 3 Gen3 PCIe x16 & 4 PCIe x1
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB EVGA Superclocked
I'm looking to buy this tomorrow and had some questions.
How do you think this will perform as a video editing rig and what do you think of the hardware selections? Any input would be great. I'm hoping to get 4 years out of this PC with minimal problems. I will be playing some games but it's mainly for video editing. I don't want to overclock because I don't see the need for it so getting the i7-4770K instead would be a waste right?
