can anyone tell me, what is the AMD equivalent of the following 2 components:
intel core i5 4690K;
MSI z97 gaming 5 ?

If you can something that matches it in price then it's this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

But really at this pricepoint, i would go for a i5-4670K + MSI G45 Z87 + CPU cooler, maybe the i5-4690K + MSI Gaming 3 Z97, but the Z87 is almost identical in speed and the price is lower so it's better value too.

Hope this helped!

May I ask why exactly You need AMD equivalent? For lower cash investment?

there really is no gaming equivalent

I am going to agree with cole here. AMD has no gaming equivalent to most of the i5 lineup, let alone the 4690k.

The 9590 only takes level on multi-threaded tasks such as video rendering or similar that can take advantage of more cores. Even so, an i7 performs much better, typically for less. (Also, the H60 will not take the TDP of the 9590)

I didn't meant to be rude, by my first reaction in head was: "Blasphemy! Intel has no equal!"

but hey, he might get the Vishera for 100 dollars somewhere, then it's a no brainer!

Price/Performance is a different story, you pay a premium for intel's performance ^^
