Using computer mainly for gaming, internet video (youtube, etc), and occasional video encoding. Is this a smart upgrade? Main reason I ask is that the 4690k doesn't have hyperthreading and it has a 6 mb cache vs 8 mb on the core i7 920. Also, I am a light overclocker (I don't like increasing voltage, but do have aftermarket cooling).
Obviously the 4790k would be more powerful but the consensus opinion seems to be that the 4690k is a better bang for the buck processor right now.
Games I played recently include Bioshock Infinite, Spec Ops the Line, Borderlands 2, and Tomb Raider.
I have seen some good deals on 4690k with motherboard combos, including a $300 deal over at newegg with the asrock fatality board.
