In terms of performance there is actually no different between i7-3770k and i7-3820.. but Socket size does.

3820 allow you for future upgrade to i7-3930k or i7-3960x which is 6 core and 12 thread pros.

Since both 3770 and 3820 price is almost the same and budget allow for X79 board. I assume is a vice choice for 3820 which expand more future upgrades =)

If not just pick the i7-3770k which is top of the line Ivy Bridge currently.
