Upgrade to Kaby Lake from Haswell?

[Chowski14]

I currently own an i5 4690k. In the extremely near future (like 2 weeks). I want to upgrade my rig. I stream low end games such as league, battlegrounds, overwatch and such. However if I upgrade now I want something that'll give me some good CPU power for a while. I am a part of the intel retail edge program so I can pick up an i7 7700k for like 125$ USD. Or should I just buy an i7 4790k and save some money on new ram, mobo, and cooler. Just looking for opinions.

Just get a 4790k - the performance difference between the two is so little that it is not worth the cost at all unless you just want some of the new platform features.

Difference between the 7700K and the 4790K is ~6%, clock for clock, on average.
