Hi

I want to ask you guys what CPU would I have to choose

I use it for gaming and sometime heavy web browsing watching movie and downloading

I5 4670k

I7 4790k

And does cache really important for my use ??

I would go with the i5 4690K if the price difference is minimal with the 4670K. Cache is important for a cpu but there is no point in spending on an i7 because you will not make use of the hyperthreading (which is generally used for video rendering).

i5-4690k vote here. Its an improvement over i5-4670k and only 20$ more the last I checked.
