4690K - for gaming they are the same but the 4790K build has a crap PSU

If you ask me, sacrificing an SSD is not worth over colors - you're losing a lot by not getting a decent SSD.

Will it speed up game performance?

It will make the system a lot more snapy - your boot times will be 1-2 seconds and the games installed on it will load considerably faster. It's also one of the best SSDs available on the market.
