Which cpu is better depends on the scenario. 

The i7 is a better value if you're comparing to 4690k retail pricing as long as you can get a decent deal on a 1155 motherboard.

i7 for things that use more cores

i5 for things that are more single threaded

 

this is only true because the i7 is older, normally the i7 would also win single threaded stuff

 

take a look here to see some things

Depends on the game, what's being rendered, and the tasks. Please be more specific.

An oc'ed 4690k would be better than the 3770 for most of that.

Photoshop or multitasking browsers, I think i5 is good enough for it. Photoshop usually depend much on Ram.
