6600K is newer and will out perform in gaming but in multi-threaded work loads the 4790K is better.

My rig: Intel Core i7-8700K OC 4.8 | NZXT Kraken X62 | ASUS Z370-F | 16 GB Trident Z RGB 3000 (2x8) | EVGA 1070 SC | EVGA SuperNova NEX650G1 | NZXT H700 | Samsung 250GB 850-EVO | 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDDs

Im going to be making a build that has a 980ti and an i5-4690k. Should I get an i5- 6600k or i7-4790k instead? Ill be playing triple a games like gta v and fallout 4 on this build. Would there be any bottlenecking between the 980ti and the i5-4690k?

If possible, go for the 6600k. Better IPC, and in the offchance that 8 threads become mandatory in the future (er.... Far Cry 6), you'll be able to sell your 6600k and get a Kaby Lake i7.
