I thought the i5 didn't have Hyperthreading?

If your gaming, go with that i5.

If your video editing, streaming, graphic designing, etc. or just want something that will help with multithreaded tasks, go with the i7. Honestly, if you have the money, get the i7.

Also, the i7 4790k (on newegg and amazon) is technically 339.99 :p

Eh the i5 4690k can be considered high end. i7 is just higher :p

Well i7 isn't going to help you much with gaming versus the i5. It will, however, help you with highly CPU intensive tasks (like video editing or graphic design). Thus, if you have no need for the latter, then get the i5 and save up for a better CPU in the future :)

What kind of games are you going to be playing anyway?
