4590 vs 4690

[Amro12]

i know ofc that the 4690 is better than the 4590 , but what i am asking is: does it provide that 30$ better performance? does it justify that price difference??(it may be less but in my country it is 30$)

My build is primarily for gaming with light video editing, light rendering and photoshop.
the build is as follows:
Asus z87-a
cpu: 4690/4590
gpu: g1 gaming gigabyte gtx 970
ram:hyperx beast 2400 mhz 2x4 gb
1 tb wd blue
seasonicc m12 ii evo 620 psu
Any recommendations?
ik i wouldnt need a z__ mobo but i am planning to sli in the future and h__ dont have that feature.

Nope not really, the mhz increase doesn't really justify the price. Both will perform identically for gaming, while the 4690 will have a really minor performance boost in video editing and photoshop.

So go with whatever is cheaper, unless you have plenty of money.

Also why not the 4690K? Just curious.

i'll tell u why. here in my country, a 4690k is 30$ more than the 4690 and 55$-60$ more than a 4590. add the cpu cooler cuz if i am getting a 4690k i ll overclock and i will need a decent cpu cooler. the hyper 212 evo is 40$. that is about 70-95$ more. I will be better getting a 4790 non k version with that money. it is better than any 4690k oc'ed and has hyperthreading. So overclocking isnt an option now,not really.

The price difference is not worth it go with a i5 4590
