worth it?

[grayblizzard]

so the clock speed difference is pretty big between the i7 4790 and the (k) model is it worth the extra $40 usd to get the k model if you want to record, play and stream games?

 

also same debate for the new top tier processers coming out later this year

like the 6700 or (k)

the K models are overclockable too! - if you are OCing then it will benefit you, if you are not going to overclock, dont bother - you will also need a  Z series board if going for a K CPU

Will you overclock? 

Get the K version. WIll you not? Get the regular one.

seee i like 4 gigahertz but i wouldnt overclock past that

sorry should have quoted!

If you aren't going to overclock buy a xeon 1231 v3

i dont want that clock speed though and also talking about new gen of cpus too

[adhisakti]

If you love to overclock, get a K series, but remember you will also need a motherboard that support overclocking and a better cooler. All of that expense is basically just for fun, i7 is fast enough for day to day tasks and gaming

There is very little difference in clock speed between the xeon and the 4790, and the 4790k would be 80$ more expensive.

We can't tell you anything about skylake until it launches and it gets benchmarked.

A 4GHz OC is very mild.  Most go at least 4.4GHz with Ivy Bridge and newer CPUs.

ok didnt know 4790 non k can turbo to 4GHz so problem solved
