Okay, MAYBE if you don't have an NVidia card and want to use CPU-based PhysX in one of the extremely few games that uses it, but that's it.
So, unless you're doing something that requires more cores, go with the 4670k.
PS2 along with most "AMD optimized" games will run the same on both. CPU Physx is usually singlethreaded believe it or not so that wouldn't be useful either. It could be useful for recording though.
