What will you be using it for? i5 for gaming, i7 for heavy editing/rendering.

I would probably go for the 4790.

I'd definitely go with the i5 4690k then, overall performance will be better than the i7's one. And it's cheaper.

To me the overclocked 4690k looks stronger on average than the i7 4790.
