Do I Really Need 4930k?

Do I really need a 4930k for a YouTube gaming channel? It only has 2 more cores than the 4770k, I dont care about ram, and will give less fps than 4770k. And isn't the 4790k a 4770k, but instead of using cement, they used thermal paste? Should I go 4930k, or go 4770k/4930k and extra Windforce 290? Was Devil's Canyon just the 4770k and the Pentium, or is there more?

I trip to make the fall shorter

No... you don't need a 4930K for Youtube video rendering even an i5 will do provided you use your GPU to render, Devils Canyon was the 4690K (i5) and 4790K (i7) and not really to be counted the Pentium 20th anniversary.

What do you mean GPU to render? I use Sony Vegas Pro 13, what does that use?

You do have the option to GPU render then it is a much faster way of rendering your video/project. The option should be in your render settings. (Render using GPU if available).

Sony Vegas uses Open CL for rendering, so go for AMD card. (Adobe premiere pro can use CUDA, thats Nvidia technology).

No you don't have too.
Many of the YouTubers I know have pretty low end systems. so even a 2500K is alright. But just go with a 4690K/4790K

However, if you got the cash, why not.
