Purely better?

4790K. But it is also more expensive.

Ask all your questions in a single thread wtf,  You don't create 25 threads if you have 25 different questions on 25 different parts.  You already know what you want to ask, so ask them all at once. My gosh.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

If you already have an high-end GPU planned in the build or if you already own one (GTX 970/ R9 290X or better) then IMHO the next best place to spend money when it comes to performance would be the CPU and if you can afford both the 4790K and an high-end GPU then by all means go for it...otherwise go with a core i5 and the best GPU you can afford up to the GTX 970 or R9 290X (GTX 980 not worth it for the little extra performance it gives both the 970 and 980 will basicaly require an upgrade at the same time down the road where as the 4790K should outlive the 4690K by a fair bit when it comes to gaming IMHO.) Typicaly GPU's don't age very well and go outdated fairly quickly where as a strong processor will last you years and years.

What is the motherboard you planned to get? Because if it is decent, dont change it because motherboard dont have any effect on performance. They would simply be better for overclocking basicly but marginally and for very limited use case

Ok. That would be pretty neat and not expensive for no reason.

The 4790k is better for editing thats for sure but if your streching your budget for it, the 4690k will still be a really nice option

You can consolidate them into a single one.

I Dont make 11 threads to ask 11 questions.

I make one, and ask 11 questions.
