Now I want to get the i7 4770k because most streamers I see use it and that makes me and convince me to get it. But I also heard i7 4790k and i5 4690k are good. So I want this to be a poll of which one out of the three.

Uses: Streaming not that much might start making YouTube channel, Gaming.

Budget: 1000

If you are streaming I would recommend the 4790K (the hyper-threading really helps for this kind of application). The 4770k and 4790K are basically identical except the 4790K is slightly better for overclocking and has a higher stock clock speed.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

i5-4690k

This (and a new motherboard obviously) should do the trick. The rest of your system can stay the same.

Try overclocking your current CPU first.

If you want to stream, 4790K should be the minimum CPU you look for. 4770K is much slower out-of-the-box and some people have had chips that won't even OC much past 4GHz which is kind of pointless on an unlocked CPU. So ignore that chip. Basically forever.

4690K for gaming alone is fine, but a 4790K is no detriment to gaming.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
