one minor difference is 4790K has a lot higher stock clocks than 4770K.
However, the biggest difference is the TMP on both chips. Since Ivy bridge, intel has put cheap paste instead of metal in the part of the chip where the cooler makes contact to cool the chip. Thus, ivy bridge and haswell have gotten way higher temperatures when overclocking than the infamous i5 2500K and i7 2600K sandy bridge.
Devils canyon (I5 4690K and i5 4790K) have gone back to the same design as sandy bridge cpus. So overclock should be as fun as back in the Sandy Bridge days.

I wondered the same thing since it's only a 9$ difference. It's a no brainer to get the devils canyon for only 9 extra bucks.
Oh, I see, the -4770K is on sale on Amazon for $309.99 currently. That muddies the waters a bit, but I think I'd still go for the -4790K. Even if it doesn't overclock further than the -4770K (and it may), it would do so with less heat. And at 4 GHz, its a sizable performance increase at stock.
Thinking out loud: I wonder why Amazon's list prices are $10 higher than Newegg's.

Who knows, maybe Newegg is trying to get more peeps interested in devils canyon since newegg caters to all the enthusiasts that go there.
