Hi, im about to buy a new processor. What is better for gaming that'll be used for about the next 3 years?

i5 4690k
i7 4790k?

Both would be OCed and I just want to know if the i7 is really worth it

I was on the fence before on this myself. But after seeing more and more games supporting multiple threads, I think the 4790k is a nice safe buffer to fall back on. One example is the new Dragon Quest game. Minimum is an older i7. GTA I think benefits from an i7 as well, IIRC.

$100 extra spent now to prevent spending even more later by upgrading twice is likely well spent.
