i7-4790K vs i5-4690K

[callofjustice]

I am trying to upgrade, is the 4790k a huge upgrade ? what is a good cpu that is a 1150 that is worth upgrading from the 4690k. I'm upgrading for gaming performance

What do you have now? What's the rest of the pc spec? What resolution & Hz will you be gaming at?

If you can get the cpu for a reasonable cost, the i7's extra 400-500 Mhz and 4 more threads with hyperthreading will come in quite handy for gaming, especially with some of the newer games...
You don't want to pay too much for it, however, not with current R5-1600/ B350 MB prices, as now you simply need 16 GB of DDR4, and you are up to 2017-level at just a bit more cost..
