3770 or 3770K has availability issue, undoubtedly. if you find any i7 2600 or 2600K or 2700K then go for it. Although ivy bridge performs better in programmg and video editing type things. while gaming there is no such difference being on Sandy or ivy. just a cost difference.
since your sole purpose is to Play games, you won't find any such difference between both generations. Just save your money. under you scenario i'll recommend you to buy i7 2600 from I& lane and i5 2500K from i5 lane.
Trust me i used i5 2500K, 3570K and 4670K no difference at all.
