That's a great combination for gaming, although why not go with skylake now that it's released? Haswell is still good, but skylake is just that slight bit better.

Get a 4460 instead.  Better price/performance.

Reason why is because in New Zealand skylake is rip off lol. Even i5 4th gen are a little high.

If thats so then go for 4590 .. 4590 is usualy way more expensive over 4460 which makes it not worth it.

Look at my sig.

4690 3.5-3.7ghz currently used for summer heat.

Gtx970, ive also used 290 and 290x's in here no probs with perfect expected performance levels.

290/x or 970.

Every game (made well) runs with perfection. Full 98-100% gpu usage.

The only time it is less, is when vsync is on, or a game imposes a frame cap.

Or if its badly made...ie: BatmanAK on launch/poor porting jobs.

Ive had a FLAWLESS experience with this i5, i have clocked it lower in the past testing random things, you will be fine, and within margins of expected performance.

Remember that reviewers use i7 and overclockable i5's to do their game benchs on so you WILL come in just under that, like most of us without overclocks do.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Would have agreed before today and the system requirements for Fallout 4 being released. If the trend keeps up that to run higher settings you need an i7, then how can we in good conscience recommend a i5?

Fallout 4 is not the first game to say it needs high end PC for recommended settings... We seen such games in past and people can still play them on their old PCs.

i5 4460 and higher is very solid for any change right now still with any with maybe the exception of the highest end GPUs.

Bethesda is specific in requiring the 4790k, not just a low end i7. That speaks volumes. You also have to consider mods, which if you can barely run the game that doesn't leave much room. Worse look at the AMD CPU in the requirements, it's not power but threads that matter.
