Posted May 3, 2015 i5-4690k vs i7-4790k. hey, which cpu should i get of the two? My plan is to play mostly cod gta v and car games like the crew and project cars.. i game with spotify, skype (often talking w someone),twitch, google, steam and either bandicam or msi afterburner! i want to game with 60+ fps with all the graphics on ultra (highest) and in 1920x1080p. which is the best then? and while i ask this should i have more than 8GB of ram to have all this open?

Posted May 3, 2015 You'll be totally fine with a 4690K. Do you plan on actually overclocking? "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.

Posted May 3, 2015 4690K would be more than enough. I'd recommend at least a bit more than 8GB. Spoiler Prometheus (Main Rig) CPU-Z Verification Laptop: Spoiler Intel Core i3-5005U, 8GB RAM, Crucial MX 100 128GB, Touch-Screen, Intel 7260 WiFi/Bluetooth card. Phone: Spoiler TruPureX, Asus Zenwatch 3. Game Consoles: Spoiler Softmodded Fat PS2 w/ 80GB HDD, and a Dreamcast. If you want my attention quote my post, or tag me. If you don't use PCPartPicker I will ignore your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 3, 2015 i5 will more than suffice with an aftermarket cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 if you got the dough - i7, both are lga-1150, so mobo won't matter. Yes you will want more than 8gb of ram to have all that open at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 3, 2015 CPU: Since you are only gaming, you dont need i7 RAM: I would say you stick with 1 stick of 8gm ram in case you want to upgrade later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 8GB will be fine, get it in 4GB x2 though not 8GB x1, and the i5-4690k will be sufficient for you, if you have the money then sure get the i7, but it wont increase your fps by anything significant, you could save the money and get a better GPU if you wanted, or more ram. What is your current GPU, that will determine if you can run the games at 1080p max settings @60fps, the ram or cpu wont be the bottleneck in your case. i5 4690k | GTX 980Ti G1 Gaming | 16GB RAM | MSI Z97 Gaming 7 | NZXT Kraken X61 | 850 EVO 250GB x2 | 1TB 850 Evo | NZXT Noctis 450 | EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Ducky Shine 3 TKL (Browns) | LG 34UC87C | Logitech MX Master | ATH-M50x's + DT990 Pro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 i would say the 4790k, as i think you have to render the footage you stream to twitch, and those 4 virtual cores will help you there The time @nicklmg quoted me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 4, 2015 When you say Twitch, do you mean you watch it, or you plan on streaming? PCPartPicker link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R6GTGX Привет товарищ )))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 4, 2015 A lot of people will here will say get the 4790k if you can afford it, I disagree with that. Why? Because this is all the i7 has over the 4690k1. Higher clock speed, which doesn't mean much since you can overclock the 4690k to match it easily2. Higher cache size....which translates to more temp memory, so in other words, pointless really3. Hyperthreading, which really only becomes useful if you're a streamer or own a youtube channel that you make vids for daily, and even then, you'd probably opt for lga2011 or lga2011-v3 anyhow. Unless the program supports it, Hyperthreading doesn't offer any benefits, it's just a smart task manager is all.So really, go with the 4690k, it's more than enough for gaming, and if you want a real media workstation just get a 6 core build.

Posted May 4, 2015 4790k if you can afford it. If you can't, 4690k. Never go down a step if you have the money to buy it.

Posted May 4, 2015 Cool then I would get the 4690k and overclock it, then stick with 8GB of ram to start, if you need more you can always add more after. The 970 should let you play the games you want at 1080p with max settings, the 4690k 100% wont bottleneck it so you should be good to go. i5 4690k | GTX 980Ti G1 Gaming | 16GB RAM | MSI Z97 Gaming 7 | NZXT Kraken X61 | 850 EVO 250GB x2 | 1TB 850 Evo | NZXT Noctis 450 | EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Ducky Shine 3 TKL (Browns) | LG 34UC87C | Logitech MX Master | ATH-M50x's + DT990 Pro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 4, 2015 Agreed with the i5-4690K. 16 GB would be reasonable, but I think 8 GB should be enough for what you intend to use. Your usage is comparable to my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
