This CPU is maybe one one the best mid-range CPU to date, even after 2 years. Goodbye, rare i3-4170. I will miss you...
For gaming? Jest what it say's, 4 cores, 4 threads, default clock at 3.5GHz and boost all the way up to 4.1GHz, all 4 cores by some overclocking.
Even without the overclocking it can run the modern games well. Even pair up with the high end GPU's today's and you have a amazing setup.
But if you going to do that I will get a much more bigger PSU for wattage power and some cooling solutions too. It will get very hot under heavy load.
For work purposes?
Well, for like Microsoft PowerPoint or Word then it will run flawlessly. Light video editing? Runs very well. Light, medium and somewhat heavy applications for working should be fine.
But if you want to do an extreme programs like rendering photos at a very high resolution or compressing long videos then I will look foward to an Haswell i7... If you have a 1150 socket motherboard of course. Yea, you can do it with this processor but it's on the "minimum" requirements specs.
For the price it's alright... The average price price for these processors is 230 USD - 240 USD. Same as the i5 - 6600K for the new skylake processor that is similar as the 4690K. Which is the 6600K is a bit more faster the 4690K if you look up some benchmarks for the two CPU's.
But maybe the price will lower by the end of this year. Maybe...
-If you want to upgrade to an i5 and you have an 1150 socket motherboard, get this processor along with a good CPU heat-sink.
-Building a mid to high end gaming PC that is under 800 - 1,000 USD, get this processor along with a good CPU heat-sink.
-Have a work station that can support haswell's CPU's but the station have an i3 in it and want to upgrade but without spending too much money,
Get this CPU... And maybe a heat sink if you want to overclock.
There is still some life left for this little guy, thanks Intel!

5 ghz easy at 1
After a long dilemma between the i5 4690k and the i7 4790k i finally pulled the plug and went for the 4690k and boy i am not dissapointed at all. I actually saved a 100 $ in the process which i spend on a liquid cooling system. Although the base clock is a mere 3.5 ghz this one overclocked to a 4.5 ghz easy at 1.25 volts by someone like me who is fairly new to the overclocking scene. I did manage to push it as far as 4.7 ghz at 1.34 or 1.35 volts, im not sure. But rather than justifying my ego I decided to play safe and and stay at 4.5 @ 1.25 volts which is a significant 1 ghz overclock than the base and a safe voltage at the same time. Im not sure if i made the right decision there but if u ask me, am i happy about it?? Well yes very much so. And yes i have experienced incresed fps in arma 3 which makes my whole experience (all the painful stress tests and the agonizing blue screens) worthwhile. I must also say that the temps stay pretty low under 65C during stress tests at 100% load, thanks to the all new thermal interface material and the corsiar h105, job very well done. Above all intel leads the way and i shall follow.

Buen procesador!!!
y sobre todo estamos comprando ala marca en directo que es lo que me hizo confiar aun mas en amazon y no por terceros que quedan mal o algo por el estilo.
Lo elegí comprarlo aqui en realidad por el precio que tiene (accesible), sin embargo habian lugares en mi estado donde rondaban 2mil pesos mas y pues la elección se inclinó con amazon.
Saludos desde Tabasco, Mexico...
Recomendado al 100% compren con las marcas directas es mejor y confiable !!!
