If you are getting that CPU you likely will be overclocking. If you do not want to overclock choose a different CPU like the non K version.

Here the cheapest overclocking motherboard I recommend:

Here is the cheapest non overclocking motherboard I will suggest:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($214.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($72.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $287.98

If you are going to overclock the CPU, then you need a decent Z97 motherboard. Great overclockers include MSI Z97 Gaming 7, ASRock Z97 Extreme 6, any ASUS ROG or TUF series board (including Maximus VII Hero, Sabertooth Z97 MARK 2), EVGA Z97 FTW, and Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7. Mid-range overclock motherboards include ASUS Z97-A, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, and ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer. If not overclocking the CPU, any H97 motherboard will do.

No you cannot. You need H97. The best thing to do is to get a NON K Intel chip like the i5-4690 and get the H97 Anniversary like I listed above. All the K does is enable overclocking. The H97M I do not recommend. I only recommend the Non M one.

You can run an i5-4690k on an H97 motherboard. In that case, the CPU can use turbo boost, but no manual overclocking. Then there's no point in getting a K series CPU. Another example: an i7-4790k can boost up to 4.4 GHz on an H97, but cannot go any further. However, it can occasionally be overclocked to 5.0 GHz on a top-tier Z97 motherboard, such as an ASUS Maximus VII Formula, as long as an excellent CPU cooler is provided. Therefore, if you will not overclock anytime in the future, then get the i5-4690 and H97 motherboard.

You can but it is 100% pointless. I have no idea why you want the K series CPU if it is no faster than the non k version like I posted. You are wasting cash. You really should get the H97 + Non K 4690. It is pointless to get a K model CPU with H97. The non K CPU is just as fast. It means no overclocking. Save yourself the cash.

You can save even more money by getting an i5-4460, which is only 300 MHz slower. The performance difference will be small. On the upside, you can get a Xeon E3-1231 V3 for about $240 and that CPU is essentially an i7-4770 with no integrated graphics. It's built mainly for server-based systems, but can be used for gaming since it also uses the same CPU socket as the i5.

I would tend to agree. If not overclocking, get a non k cpu and h series motherboard (h97) - unless you want to sli (2 nvidia cards) down the line, then you'll need a z97 motherboard. Turbo boost exists on all i5 cpu's, both k and non k. K series is for actual overclocking (above turbo boost speeds) with a z series motherboard. The gigabyte h97m d3h (micro atx board) and h97 d3h are in the same tier for h97 boards. One is atx (bigger) the other is micro atx (smaller). One isn't really better than the other.

Forget the old outdated chipsets, h81, b85 and all that nonsense. It will likely result in a lot of headaches because the bios is old and will likely need updated to handle the newer cpus. Meaning you'll need an older cpu to put into the board to update the bios to run the newer cpu. They weren't designed for new builds, they were designed to have updated support for people who already owned an older board with an older cpu that they could then update their bios to support a newer cpu. They already had the old cpu needed to update.

With an h97 board, an i5 4460 or 4590 would be better value than the 4690 (non k). The only reason for spending the extra on the 4690k is to overclock it which you don't want to do. If you want inexpensive hyperthreading, the xeon 1231v3 is a good option though hyper threading does little for gaming. Still makes the 4460/4590 better options for the price since they run around $40-50 cheaper than the xeon.

DirectX 12 on Windows 10 is expected to make better use of all available CPU cores and threads, thus making a Xeon or i7 a more viable option for added performance on DirectX 12-supported games. Even AMD octa-core CPUs will see more benefits with DirectX 12 than Mantle.

It should yes, although hyperthreading aren't cores. From what dx12 results have shown with draw calls, the i5 pushes more draw calls on a gtx 970 vs an 8350 and the margin is wider than it was on dx11 multithreaded vs dx12 with the same gpu. Same for the r9 290x.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-why-directx-12-is-a-gamechanger

Here they tested with starswarm and it showed the limits of single threaded behavior with dx11. Implementing dx12, even a gtx 980 became the bottleneck and 6 cores made no difference over 4 cores.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8962/the-directx-12-performance-preview-amd-nvidia-star-swarm/4

Here's at mid settings, where even a dual core cpu almost matches the performance of a quad core with a gtx 980.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8962/the-directx-12-performance-preview-amd-nvidia-star-swarm/7

The rest of the cards are bottlenecks. Gpu's have already been the bottleneck with dx11 and current games and quad cores, this only makes the point more pronounced. Everyone is worried about cpu's and how much better they'll thread when the bigger issue is the gpu. Even $300 gpu's are rehashes of last years (or older) gpu's - to get a gpu that doesn't bottleneck, you're looking at $500-650 gpu's. If people are complaining about a $50 cost difference between an fx8350 and i5 4460/4590 now, imagine the gripe about not being able to afford the gpus needed to matter. Either gpu's are going to have to severely come down in price or they're going to have to really start producing better tech. At this rate it will allow the weaker cpu's to catch up in terms of no longer bottlenecking the faster cards. The money saved by a budget cpu won't translate into funds to afford a higher end card - aka save $100 doesn't mean you can afford a $300 premium for the gpu above mainstream cards. It also doesn't equate to weaker cpus becoming better at running the cpu side of a game, even gpu bound games have other aspects to them.

When comparing an i5 to an i7 (or xeon with ht), we're talking about solving for a problem that doesn't exist. I would say hyper threading is needed but when a 4c/4t cpu isn't bottlenecking the gpu in the first place this adds little to it. The r9 290 and 290x released at the end of 2013. Middle of 2015 they finally added 4gb of vram and made a couple of tiny modifications and re-released them as r9 390 and 390x. Gpu progress is creeping to say the least. By the time hyperthreading is needed to keep from bottlenecking a gpu, at the current rate we've been going it will be a good 3-4 years down the road. A 980ti is an improvement over the 980, but again we're talking a $650 gpu that I doubt is on most people's shopping list if having issue with intel vs amd pricing. And these are the upper end cards, for dx12 to take off these need to become $200 mid range cards.
