Vote for a CPU?

[DES7OY3R]

Can't decide which CPU to use for gaming.

I7 4770k, i7 4790k, i5 4670, i5 4690k

Uses: Gaming

Please just comment which one out of the three please.

[Sam Z Man]

4690k

[Clyne]

i5 4690K

Want HT for some reason yet you want to game at a cheap price? Xeon E3 1231V3(Locked CPU and no iGPU)

[FatPenguin]

obsessively 4790k if you have room in the budget for it 

[Comessy]

4690k

 

Do not get an i7 

[Chickenator]

4690K, but go for an i7 if you are doing more than just gaming.  However, a 4690K is plenty for games.

[Lolzious]

4690k

[DarkBlade2117]

I5-4690k for pure gaming, i7-4790k for a mixture of gaming, editing, rendering ect.. The i7 will do just as good for gaming especially if games take over threads sooner. But will be better for editing rendering ect.. Like I said.

[RazerZ]

4690k. Compared to a Xeon 1230/1231 V3 for gaming at this time...

 

Clock speed> hyper threading.

Devil's Canyon

If you have the money for it without skimping in say the video card, the i7-4790k is the best. Some games like Arma 3 and Total War Atilla want flat out clockspeed and are CPU bound by a single core, some games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Crysis 3 are really core hungry and do better with the 8 hardware threads of an i7. So the i7-4790k is the best of both worlds, at least on LGA 1150. Though both of these classes of games are in a small minority. Almost all AAA games will perform the same on a locked i5, overclocked i5, locked i7, or overclocked i7 if you're targeting 60 fps.

 

Don't buy a 4670k or 4770k, as they don't overclock as well on average as the Devil's Canyon 4690k and 4790k. If the extra $100 for the i7 is coming out of your video card or power supply budget, then absolutely opt for the i5-4690k instead, as it's not much of a step down from the i7-4790k unless you're trying to push 120 frames per second.
