The 3770k is more powerful, but the Z97 board has room to grow because it will support next gen chips. An i5 is good enough for a 280x as well. I'd just get the cheaper option TBH. Both will be the same for most titles. Only titles that have 4+ multi-thread support will see some improvement in FPS for the 3770k.

Cheaper > Upgrade-ability > Power

What are the cost of each build? Unless it is a real bargain i would go with the i5-4690K.

The benefits of a newly released motherboard (future proofing) are worth the extra $100. The difference in processor speed is negligible. You do get hyperthreading with I7-3770K, but it isn't all that useful.

I would recommend the I5- 4690K system.

How? they are within 1-3 FPS off each other within the margin of error.... some higher for the 3770k and some higher for the 4690k. it isnt a straight up 10 FPS win in everything kind of deal.

For a $100 less would i pick the second one too,it's got the better psu imo and gives with that the option for crossfire in the future as well.For gaming are both cpu's fine.
