Pure performance: i7 6700k > i7-4790k > i5-4690k.

However, that is also the list from most expensive to least expensive so it really depends on your needs.

PSU tier list // Motherboard tier list // Community Standards

AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Gigabyte RTX 3060TI Gaming OC Pro, Fractal Design Meshify C TG, 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz, MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, Samsung 850 EVO 512GB, 2TB WD Blue, Corsair RM850x, LG 27GL83A-B

Oh wow now that I look at it, they are the same price here as well :P. It seems like I need to update my info since DDR4 is actually the same price as DDR3 now as well. My bad.

That won't work. That motherboard is not compatible with the 6700k (you need a LGA1151). That means you also need to buy new RAM (DDR4 in stead of DDR3).
