i considered both for quite some time and the only problem that i ran into was making sure that everything will be relevant for years to come? for example it seems as though intel is making the push for the 6 core and 8 core processors while the z97's seem to be reaching the end of their cycle and i don't want to need to replace mobo and cpu or either really when it does come time to upgrade the system to 4k and for what ever else i may decide to do? basically i just want the longevity to be as extreme as possible. also with such a build what would be the highest cpu speed on the 5820k i should overclock to, ive heard of some getting it high like 4.4 but i just dont know how safe that would be. but yes the 4790k is something i have been considering im just quite worried about longevity.
