Hello,
I am building my pc in a 1,300 dollar budget, and I can get wither a 6700k or a 4790k with a gtx 970, but does the 6700k offer any advantages that are worth the price?

It should be a quicker at switching CPU frequencies with an upcoming Windows 10 update, and the chipset has quite a lot more bandwidth available to connected devices, with 20 PCIE 3.0 lanes on the chipset, and double the bandwidth between the chipset and the CPU. Not to mention, you'll be using a socket that will be able to fit the next 2 generations of Intel CPU's, which gives you some options down the road. Also, USB 3.1 will probably be worth having.
