I'm buying my parts soon and wondering if A I5 4690k good for gaming. I was also wondering if it was a better choice to buy a I7-4790k over a I5-4690k. I heard the I7 was better to do video editing and streaming but I'm not planning on doing any of that besides gaming and you know watch you-tube and stuff. I can fit it in my budget but is it worth the extra $100. Also not planning on overclocking but maybe in the future.

My Specs Are

Feel free to give advise and this build is meant to be powerful anouf to play big games like battlefront/witcher and others. Anything that I can change to make it better please tell. :)

The best CPU for gaming without overclocking right now: Intel i5-4690.

i7 for gaming is next to pointless, as is going for a 'k' when youre not overclocking.

That said, if you might do it later down the line, go for the 4690k.
