Comparison, i5-6500 vs i5-4690K: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6500-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4690K/3513vs2432

The main difference between those two CPUs is that you can overclock the i5-4690K and get more speed out of it while i5-6500 stays with stock speeds and can't be overclocked.

That being said, you have two options here; either build yourself a build where you can overclock your CPU or build a standard setup.

i5-4690K and Z-series MoBo (more expensive but you can overclock with DDR3)

i5-6500 and H-series MoBo (cheaper and no overclock ability with DDR4)

Or, you can get Z-series MoBo now with non-K CPU and upgrade later on to a K-series CPU that you can overclock.

I, myself, prefer the 3rd option. That gives you nice foundation for future upgrades and also updates your system (e.g. RAM goes from DDR3 to DDR4, CPU chipset goes from LGA1150 to LGA1151).

One last one, overclocking produces a lot of heat and you need aftermarket cooling for that. (Didn't include that in the list.)
