Is it worth upgrading from an i5 4690k to an i7 4790k? i was thinking if it was worth it because if not i could just spend the 400 on monitors or better upgrades on it overall

What is your current rig? What bottleneck do you encounter? What is the goal you want to achieve through upgrading?

thanks also got any ideas on what i should upgrade?

Nothing until you want to try 2k+ gaming. By that time, coffee lake will be cheaper to get, also gtx 1070 etc.

I would suggest an SSD as the next upgrade for general snappiness.

Second on that SSD, get a 240+ gb SSD for ~$80-100 and clone your OS to SSD : backup your data first and then https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi42fDS693WAhWr64MKHQNeBSIQFgg8MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.todo-backup.com%2Fbackup-resource%2Fdata-transfer%2Fmigrate-windows-10-to-ssd.htm&usg=AOvVaw2lFRmjASLYn1I4932YVUkW

It will boost boot speed and game loading speed by a lot
