The 4690K offer much better bang for the buck overall, the 6600K offers better longevity. I went 4690K because in a few years I can swap out the CPU for a then cheap 4790K. Between the CPU and cooler I have spent what a 6600K would cost and run at 4.5GHz.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

What will you use it for? The 6600K performs

than the 4690K for gaming, although gaming performance will depend mostly on your GPU. Assuming you're doing a new build, if your budget allows it go for the 6600K.
