If they are all the same price, there is no question or debate.

3770k wins. Clock for clock it wins, and all are pretty much guaranteed 4.5ghz overclocked. Anything above that is just luck of the draw.

You are by no means guaranteed to overclock better on SB or IB.

Do you plan on overclocking and with what kind of cooling? I just went from 2500k to 3570k and am happy I did.

I have the 3770K, upgraded from the 2600K. I am restricted by temperature now for the overclock. I am @ 4.6GHz with the same temps I had @ 4.9GHz on the 2600K. Not a biggy though am very happy I went to the new processor.

For this, 3770K. It's a better processor, just not that much better. If you would have said 199 for the 2600K, my answer would have been much different.

Simple answer: Go for Ivy 3770k unless you can get Sandy substantially cheaper than Ivy. In your case, it's not an option.
