Based on your need, it is logical to get Core i7-4790. It has HT, higher cache, higher base speed and lower power consumption (Less heat).
K based processors are more for overclocking anyway. Which is of no use to you really. |

QUOTE(sue_cinta @ Jul 10 2015, 08:47 PM) thanks...or should I spend a bit more and get i7 4790K? since I have a Z97 mobo to begin with... I would benefit more right for my needs? Anything with a "K" moniker at the back has unlocked multiplier and better bits here and there. Its more like a race engine for you to tune to get more power. By default its no different than the regular 4790. Don't waste it for the feature that you would not use. Better spend it on bigger ram or SSD hard disk. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jul 11 2015, 03:15 PM) i7-4790 and i7-4790K has differences. i7-4790K stock speed is 4Ghz, 4790 is 3.6Ghz. Besides price and speed, got a few more features also. But worth paying for tech that cannot see? Intel® vPro Technology Intel® TSX-NI Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP) Trusted Execution Technology  |
