Some people overclock it for video editing, others do it to future-proof their I5 for more intense games in 2015 and 2016, and others just do it for the heck of it.

Why overclock? 17% or more FPS is worth it when the heat is manageable. Games that are CPU bound you can gain 15-20 fps but bumping a 4690K to 4.2 to 4.5 ghz. That is a huge jump when your running near max settings and your FPS is dipping to 30's. Another example is some people are just fixated on having 60 fps and even a drop of .5 below that sends them to the forum to complain.
