You could build an entire GPU host (mobo, PSU, ram + CPU) with the money you'd spend on a 4770k.

Get celerons/semprons and A4 APUs, at least with the APU you have a gpu to mine on (only a few khash mind), Intel HD4000 graphics only get 13khash and an i7 cpu gets 50khash.

Then buy a M-ITX board and an i7 if you want to mine QRK/PTS or similar, may even fit in the same case.

Ok, thanks for your reply. I have some Semprons rigs, now I´m just analyzing the CPU coins mining possiblity.

Maybe the best will be to keep on cheap Semprons/Celerons and get some specialized not so expensive Xeons I have access to.

I´m looking for the setup of some rigs.

I was wondering if include CPU mining to complement GPU mining.

I´m considering socket LGA1155, with some micro like i4770k and a Z87 chipset mother.

My doubt is. BAMT is 32 bits, so.. Will I have performance problems trying to CPU mine with BAMT ?

You will pay 10 times more for electricity than you really mine with CPU, it is absolutely not effective. Don't even bother.
And if you mining bitcoins, GPU also not profitable anymore (not even talking about CPU).

I´m not so noob to think I could mine bitcoins with CPU & GPU at December 2013.

You should still have 3.25Gb of memory to play with in 32bit.
