Hey guys, I recently just bought the ASUS ROG 1150 Z87 Motherboard and I have about $300 saved up for my cpu. Should I wait for the next K series cpu's or just go with the 4670k? If anyone can help me decide and give some information about the next release and if its worth the upgrade, let me know thanks!

If you're going to be gaming and doing things besides editing and recording buy the I5.

He will save if he buys the 4670K. Plus he wouldn't see a difference in performance.
 


4670k = $239 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899&cm_re=4670k-_-19-116-899-_-Product

4690k = $239 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372&cm_re=4690k-_-19-117-372-_-Product

What exactly will he "save" by getting the 4670k?

As the other guy said, there's not a dime to be saved with the -4670K. The -4690K comes clocked 100 MHz faster and has superior thermal performance essentially for free. It would be silly not to wait.
