Hi! I need some help choosing the processor for my new build, here the full list:

i7 4770(265€) or i7 4790(275€)
Asus gtx 760 DCII OC
AsRock B85 Killer ( Already have it and it supports i7 4790 )
Corsair VS550W
CoolerMaster K350
Kingston SSDNOW V300 64GB
1Tb Hard Drive ( don't know what brand it is)

Know my question is this: is it worth to pay those 10€ more for the i7 4790, i saw some tests which showed better performance, but some people say it's not worth it, what should i do?

If you have any other advice go ahead :D
 
Solution
The 4790 is 0.1GHz faster (not noticeable), newer, and should have slightly lower temperatures.

For only 10 euros more however I see no reason not to get it. You'd be fine with either though, there's hardly a difference.
