New or used 4690k or 6600(non k)

I'm about to buy a used 4690k for £145, I can get a brand new one for £180.

 

The seller has had it for about a year now and can OC it to 4.4 at 1.25V.

 

But after a few talks he hits nearly 90C under prime and games at 70-80C in CPU heavy games like GTA and Star Citizen.

 

Is it worth it for a new chip for £35?

Or should I stick with this seller?

If I stick with this I get a half decent OC chip and save some money.

Or should I buy it new, risk a worse chip, but have longer warranty from Intel (I know you lose it if you OC, but Intel doesn't know that)?

 

Anyone got opinions on this?

 

EDIT, after looking around I can get a new 6600 non k for the same price.

 

Which one should I get now?

It's be OC'd who knows how long it will last you. I suggest new.

I found a 6600 non k for the same price as a 4690k.

 

I will be over clocking it.

 

Any more help?
