4690 or 4670k?

[MonsterHunter280]

I'm looking at a website called CEX. They have an i5-4690 for £130 and an i5-4670k for £150. I've looked on Intel Ark and both CPUs look amazing but I can't decide which one to buy.

I'd love to here your opinions on this!

I'd get the 4690. It's cheaper, and probably a little slower but not 20 pounds slower.

I've found a 4690k for £165. Should I get that?

if you have a good cooler , and overclock it to 4.5ghz , it's definitely a better deal

It depends on if you want to overclock. But seeing how intel just sits on his money i would say go for the K and a good cooler so you dont have to upgrade it in the near future...

idk I'd probably just get the non-overclockable 4690.

I've got a Hyper 212 EVO. Is that any good?

The quad core models with SMT should be around £150.  We will get a definitive release date at CES, this week.  Speculated launch date is january 17

I've heard the 70s are a little lackluster in OCing potential, so probably the 4690

Ok sounds great!

I've heard that the new RYZEN CPU will be about £300. Is this true?
