I have a chance to swap my i5 4670k for a i7 4790k plus £ 65 

 

Should I take this deal? 

I would take it, as it's significantly cheaper than if you buy it without that deal.

Main PC: R7 3700X / Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi / Radeon RX 5700 XT / 32GB DDR4-3200 / 250GB & 2TB Crucial MX500 (in HP Prodesk 400 Case)

Laptop: R5 2500U / Radeon Vega 8 / 8GB DDR4-2400 / 500GB SK Hynix BC501 (HP Envy x360 13)

My little Server: i7-7700 / Asrock H110M-ITX / 24GB DDR4-2400 / Samsung 860 Pro 250GB & Seagate Firecuda 2TB / VMware ESXi 6.7

(Don't tell me i should Name them, i don't want to ^^)

Well it's a upgrade, but not the very biggest. The 4790 has obviousy more headroom, but do you run into CPU problems with your current? Around here new ones have about 100€ difference, so not exactly as low as your 65 pounds, but maybe could try to make it 50?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

well i7 has 4 extra virtual cores which surely helps in cpu heavy task like video rendering etc. With that deal, even if you wont need that extra power now, it will definitely make you a little more futureproof.
