Not worth it. The i7 4790K is still a beast of a processor and I don't plan on changing mine out for maybe a couple of years.

How much of a deal, if it's good I'll probably say 4790k since it's only a 3-8% difference

 

Wait you already have it, well then it's a no brainer, keep it

What do you use your computer for? How much cheaper can you get the 4790k? The 4790k has two more threads, but has a slower single core speed. If for gaming and light editing, 6700k. If doing heavier editing and CPU intensive workloads, 4790k. Although, if you get the 4790k, you can save money on the ram as you can just reuse it. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.
