OC isn't important for me, as I'm quite laic when it comes to overclocking a CPU. Even if the OC-potential makes it slightly more future-proof, I don't think I'd spend 360 bucks on a 4790K.
So, HT and price is what I'm going for. I'd use it mainly for video editing and gaming (alongside an R9 290X), and I'd be upgrading from an i5-4690 in a currently 1-year-old PC.
The 4820K is about 280 bucks around here, and the 4790 goes for 313 atm. From what I've seen, the main disadvantage the 4820K has is the (much) higher TDP. So for long-term, the 4790 would be a better choice.
Or should I simply ignore upgrading from an i5-4690 for now, wait a bit and go for an entirely new platform (LGA1511)?
Thanks for the replies.
