I assume you mostly do gaming with your PC?

 

If so 4690k is a great matchup.

 

If you do a significant amount of video or photo editing I may consider a 4790k instead.

Ivy bridge iterations of those same chips

Ivy bridge-E CPU's.

 

The Core i5 bottleneck it pretty bad in watchdogs and the core i7 SLIGHTLY bottleneck it in watchdogs, all the other games are 100% fine.

AMD does not hold any CPU at the moment that won't bottleneck this card in many games, i personaly ran the vishera FX at 4.6ghz and it wasn't enough for the GPU in many AAA games.

High-end GPU's commend an high-end CPU, that's how it is.
