So, I have been looking for a good processor for a gaming pc I am planning to build. I am sort of on a tight budget and i was wondering, Does the i7 perform better than the i5 fps wise? I will be playing games like cs go and battlefield on medium to high settings. I would like to have at least 60 fps with the gtx 960 I will be getting.

4690K is more than enough for gaming, it'll do perfectly fine for a good long time.

Agreed..unless for some reason you have a monstrous gpu setup that would make your cpu the bottleneck, your gpu will be the main thing to put your resources into, and a 4690k will do just fine

There is not much of a difference but you can boast that i7. I f you do not want those boasting rights there is not much of a difference.

i5-4690k should be plenty good. Looks like the most drastic game you will be playing is Battlefield, so try looking up some benchmarks for both.

 

i7-4790k is future proof, and probably runs cooler, but if you need to save that $100, then you will not be let down by the i5-4690k, its a great choice.
