Hey everyone, kinda new to the forums.
The topic is quite simple, Im currently using an i5 4690K but i started Youtube again and im working in Adobe AE and the rendering time is quite long and an i7 would do wonders regarding this aspect.
But now i dont know if i should get the 4790K or just sell my stuff(CPU + mobo + RAM) and go straight for a Z170 MOBO(I chose the Asrock Z170 Fatal1ty Gaming K4) with an i7 6700K.
I searched for benchmarks and comparisons between these 2 CPUs and ive noticed that the 6700K performs better in Games.
Ill also buy 2x RX 480's when they come out so im kinda thinking of getting the 6700K.
Waiting for some opinions.
Thanks ! :)

It is clear that you need a i7 processor with your system.
I would suggest i7 6700k + a new setup. So that you can get decent DDR4 ram's with high frequency's and these will make your system really fast.
And the new thunderbolt and M2 technologies might be quite useful for you in the future.
