The price difference doesn't matter that much, just that I would need to save for a bit more to get the Intel build or I could build the AMD build after I get my pay check tomorrow. Note the lack of a GPU, while I will use this for gaming I already have a XFX 280x, and probably will SLI later. I will use this for my programming and game making classes where we use unreal engine and intensive programs like that.

GO INTEL!!!!!!!! If you have the money to go intel then do it you will seriously not regret it! the 4690k is a beautiful CPU and performs amazingly and I cannot fault you intel build! the only thing I would do is if you had the money get an i7 4790k. Also a fan controller would probably be a better option rather than the splitter! less power needs to be drawn from the mobo and also they look so cool nzxt sentry 2 LED display is great!

I don't have the money for the i7, and this case doesn't have a drive bay.
