Would an i5 6600 have better performance than a 4690k that was overclocked to around 4.4 - 4.6 GHz? I did the calculation that since 6th gen has around a 15% increase in performance of 4th, the 2 would be the same but is that true? Thanks

If money is tight, Skylake are getting prices jacked up lately due to supply difficulties it seems; I'd just get the 4690K vs a 6600K, it's not going to be a big enough performance difference to notice while gaming anyway. Just like the last few cpu generation releases; fairly minimal improvement from generation to generation for gaming since the days of the 920s/960s/980Xs. Now if both cost you about the same then by all means get the newer one if they'res little price difference.
