First Gaming PC CPU

[GoldMonkeyTMM]

Hi. I am making my first pc build and I am having trouble deciding if i should go with the i5 4590 or the i5 4690. I don't know if I need the 4690 because this is my first PC and I'm trying to stay under $800 for the main components. Here is the build I have in mind:

Should I buy the 4690 or is it not worth the extra money? The most demanding game I plan on playing will be Fallout 4.

They're pretty much the same thing only difference is one is clocked EVER so slightly higher. Honestly just go with whichever one's cheaper

It's not worth it and will have very little impact in gaming performance, it's better to put the money towards a better GPU instead, R9 290 is a good choice.

Ok thank you! I am suprised because this is exactly like a build idea i have. The only difference is that it has an SSD. Thanks again!
