over-clocking in mind with a Gaming goal which should i buy

Core I5-4690 (NON K-skew)
+ stock cooler
+MSI z97 PC MATE

or


Pentium Anniversary
+ Corsair H60
+MSI 2600 z97
+64 GB boot SSD

i am a massive gamer and this PC is going to be built to enjoy smooth game play While using the
R9 280 i am getting to encode

i play many CPU intensive games such as but not limited to:
Planetside 2
Minecraft (shaders + 256 Texturepack) (don't argue that this game isn't intensive try dns tech-pack)
Zero-K (Uses a multi threaded engine)
day-Z mod
Star Craft

please only post about these 2 processors (there are better options from amd) i have narrowed down to these 2 processors
 
Solution
4690 will beat the Pentium quite clearly.

Of course, you cant OC the 4690, but it will still perform better than the pentium in CPU heavy tasks.
