Higher stock clock speeds, more consistent overclocking, better power delivery, and better thermals. Those are the differences that I know of.

Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz) | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB  | 2x 360mm Custom Loop (Noctua iPPC) | ASRock X99 Extreme6 | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | Fractal Design Define S | Corsair HX750 | Windows 10 | Corsair M65 RGB PRO | Corsair K70 RGB LUX (CherryMX Brown) | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro & Creative Sound Blaster Z | Nexus 6P (32GB Aluminium) | Check out my setup: Project Kalte Here!

at its most basic.. the 4790k will generally run cooler and overclock higher. its essentially a haswell refresh to improve the thermal compound between the die and heatspreader. Comes clocked higher out of the box as well other then that they are pretty much the same thing

Devil's Canyon chips are generally better overclockers compared to Haswell, they also run cooler. Keep in mind with 8 series boards you'll need a BIOS update tho

you are good to go on Z97. once booted, then look to UEFI/BIOS updates for stability.

If your looking to get new then for sure get the 4790k, its better overclocking, lower temps, more stable, and has a new interface detection technology. and its basically the same if not cheaper price. so DC for sure

got to love Asus components
