There isn't a i7 4790k, just a i7 4790
That being said, 4930k is 6 cores 12 threads. compare to 4 cores 8thread.
unless you are doing sli or tri-sli a 4790 work fine.

"The i7-4790K will launch with a clock speed of 4.00 GHz and a Turbo Boost frequency of 4.40 GHz"

If the 4790K will be priced around the same as the 4770K then I may upgrade my 4670K.

The Haswell will have superior single core performance.

The 4790k is the only significantly interesting Haswell refresh processor in the lineup for those who already have an older Haswell.

Not only would this absolutely require a fix of the thermal interface issue, it would indicate that all i7 4790k's are capable of 4.4 from the factory at voltages that should be at least remotely factory levels. The TDP is a mere 4 watts over a 4770k. There was a vague mention of some electrical fix as well.

This would imply that there is at least a great possibility of getting very good clock overclocks on these over a 4770k (or 4670k for that matter). It would be interesting to know if the 4690k was just as capable but with a lower factory multiplier to further differentiate it in it's price point.

Anyways for the OP, like CTurbo said, 4790k for gaming simply due to clock per clock performance

For the most part, no difference. The GPU is going to make 95% of the difference, unless the CPU is so weak that it bottlenecks the system, and neither the 4790k nor the 4930k will be a bottleneck. There are a few games that are heavily CPU bound, but even in those games the difference will be small and the 4790k will almost certainly win due to higher clock speed. Since the 4790k will be significantly cheaper than the 4930k, you should get that.
