i5 4690 vs i5 6600

[xMwpgamer7ooox]

Which should i get? I am not planning to overclock but I am planning to game a lot (specifically GTA and The Division) and I would like the better cpu. As well I have a MSI GTX 950 Gaming 2gb GPU. Thanks

I would take the 6600 (or rather the 6500)

Not sure where you are going to source them from but at the moment in the US the overclockable 4690K is almost the same price as the 4690 so comparing the 4690K and 6600:

Intel Core i5-6600 vs Core i5-4690K
Userbenchmark Effective CPU Speed: 89.2% vs 90%
Intel Core i5-6600 - 14th / 899
Intel Core i5-4690K - 12th / 899

Its a close match between the 4690K and 6600 but for just another $15+heatsink you really might as well take the 6600K which will allow for another 10% performance gain if you decide to OC in the future.

Intel Core i5-6600K vs Core i5-4690K
Userbenchmark Effective CPU Speed: 98.8% vs 90%
Intel Core i5-6600K - 2nd / 899
Intel Core i5-4690K - 12th / 899

Both should perform similarly. It would come down to local costs for you. The component that's liable to affect either of those games more than which i5 you use is the gtx 950. That's more likely to hold back gaming performance.
