My Gaming Rig Upgrade i5 4690K vs i5 6600K

[gaurav0110]

Hi All,
Here we go again.... I was not sure whether to open my last thread or create a new one, but thought of creating this to get fresh perspective

Current Parts that will go to my next upgrade
MSI GTX970 4G GAMING
Dell E228WFP 22 inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor (max resolution 1680 * 1050)
Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced Chasis (Cabinet)
Cooler Master N620 CPU Heatsink with 2*120 mm blue LED fan
Corsair TX 750W PSU

My current CPU is a Quad core Q9550 overclocked at 3.6GHz, so next upgrade is Mobo+CPU+RAM. I will do only Gaming on my system without recording or parallel tasking. I will keep this build for next 4 years. I will run games like Assassin's Creed Unity/Syndicate, BF, Batman Arkham Knight, GTA V, COD, Metro 2033, Far Cry 4, Witcher 3 etc.

QUERY: What would you suggest 4690K or 6600K? Also, any pointers on Z170 mobo if the answer is 6600K?

Also, please let me know if any further Information needs to be mentioned. Any pointers is much appreciated....

for the difference in performance VS total price you will have to pay, and since the build is to last 4 years, i would go to the 4690K.

in my opinion, the small increase in performance the skylake system brings, is not worth the extra $$$. At least, not yet.

Bear in mind that DirectX 12 is at the door, and it will help to have a good CPU to aid in gaming. My build (~3 months ago) i was in doubt on the 4690K vs 4790K, and went for the i7 because of the future that is DX12
