I Will buy a new computer with the motherboard asus z87-pro (with the socket lga-1150). For the cpu (with the same socket), i hesitate between the i7-4770k, the i7-4771, the i7-4790 and the i7-4790k. They have almost the same price on newegg. I know that the 4790k is more performant than the 4770k and the 4771 but is it risked to take the 4790k because it arrived on the marketing not very long ago. Can someone can help me to choose between thèse 4 cpus please?

Get the 4790K as it's the best and like you said, price diff in minimal.
There is no risk, it's a mature(good yields) 4770K with better thermal paste under the IHS and a higher factory clock speed (which it can easily and safely handle).

And consider stepping up an Asus Z97 board.
Asus... nice, you have good taste, quality products.
