If you want it to last as long as possible, and it is not primarily going to be a gaming machine, then the 4770 is probably the better bet especially since it's only eight dollars more.

There is no substantial IPC (Instructions per clock) difference between them, both have a max turbo of 3.9Ghz and the i7 has four hyperthreads not on the i5. Pretty simple decision really.

4770 non k. If you have a locked mobo, no use getting a 4690k.

Darkbreeze well pointed out that 4770 has four threads not on the i5. If you want the chip to last, take the 4770.
