i7 4790k or i5 4690k?
I need to know which one to get. I easily have the money for the i7, although I don't want to spend unnecessarily, obviously.
My main usage is going to be gaming but I will also be doing RAM intensive applications such as multimedia editing (photo and video mostly).
I don't know if the extra 2 MB L3 cache of the i7 is important to me since I have done fine so far without ever taking the L3 cache into consideration, but I do like the 4 GHz vs the 3.5 GHz. But is that worth spending the extra $100 over? I don't think I need hyperthreading as my use with the editing is light and PC gaming doesn't really take advantage of it.
So I guess the only thing I would be spending the extra $100 on is 500 MHz more clock speed. Is that worth it in your opinion?
