Core i5 is the better choice. Also, because a Core i7-4690K doesn't exist.

If you're exclusively gaming, they should perform about the same. So yeah, go with the i5.

if you can afford it , get the i7 4790k. its faster out of the box, 4 ghz with a 4.4 turbo. the i5 4690k is 3.5 and 3.9. i just bought a 4790k and am extremely happy with it

Unless a game can utilize all 8 threads effectively, the i5 will do just fine. There will be minimal performance difference between the i5 and i7. Most likely you'll jsut be looking at a marginal improvement of maybe like... 1 to 5 fps in most games. Some of the newer games might be able to optimize it better. Like what's said above, if you can afford it go for it, but if not, the i5 will perform almost the same.
