Wont make a difference for gaming, but the 4930k should be slightly faster in certain other tasks with it's 6 cores. If its a purely gaming machine, I'd stick with the 4770k (or even 4670k) and spend money elsewhere.

The difference won't really be the CPU there, the difference would be seen on the Socket 2011 motherboard which allows two PCIe x16 lanes at x16. In SLI the additional wide open bandwidth may be helpful. That is the only advantage I am aware of

So would it be better to get the 4930k and mobo with a second gtx 680 or 4770k and mobo with one 690? For battlefield 4 mainly

Because the total PCIe bandwidth on the Z87 board is 16x, the 690 gets effectively run at 8x8x on that board but with PCie 3.0 full 16x bandwidth is rarely (never?) needed.
If the concern is strictly gaming with no more than two cards in SLI (or a single GTX690), I'll suggest the 4770k/Z87 combo as being a better value. In 3+ way SLI, the X79 would show it's worth (IMO)
