Building a brand new rig. Want to know which i7 is the best for gaming. I kinda want overkill a bit. But not to much! A buddy recommend i7 4790k, could I go more like in the 5000 series or would that be to much? also if you have recommendations for a motherboard! That be awesome. I am going to get a gtx 970, and prob corsair vengeance 1600 8g ram sticks.

The 5xxx series is for X99 ..., at this point in time, can't go higher than a 4790k. It has a slight advantage over the 4690k but if budget limited, ya best spending that $100 on GFX upgrade rather than an i7. If not overclocking, the advantage is a lot more significant .... it's 10% faster than the i5 at stock settings
