We bought the MSI Z 97 gaming motherboard to be the foundation of a new gaming platform for my son using an older Antec full tower case to house it all in. Anyone thinking of building a new system should consider the components listed below. After building the computer and turning on the hardware overclocking feature on the motherboard (OC Genie), loading all the drivers and updating using the MSI updating software, the system is stable, hasn't crashed once, and runs games at blazing speeds. My son says he is getting 100 fps plus from every game he has, while running them at max graphics settings, including a popular new title called "Evolve", where the graphics are just stunning. Some games he is getting over 200fps, wow. I went in and looked at Windows performance module, the 3.5 GHZ CPU we put on the motherboard is overclocked by the hardware to 3.95 GHZ with no stability issues. I have watched him play some of his newer games and the system just makes them look gorgeous, amazing processing power!
Be sure to hook up dedicated 4-pin power from your power supply to the corresponding audio power jumper on the motherboard, lights up red when you start the system and looks really cool, supplies dedicated power to the rear audio jacks. One thing to note in the motherboard installation book it does not tell you which position to set the DIP switch to enable powered audio rear jacks until four pages later than where it tells/shows you which jumper to plug in dedicated power, that info should be on same page in manual.
Remember the graphics card listed below recommends a minimum 750 watt power supply due to the high wattage of the card. I replace my older 500W power supply just to be safe. This is a huge graphics card so make sure you have a full size case to start your build. Another thing make sure you don't have any power cables in the way of the graphics card fans at startup, double check, the fans most be running. At initial startup we had a power cable that that got in the way of one of the fans, but we caught it right away and re-routed it so the fan would spin.
Please note this motherboard does not have any IDE bus ports to support legacy drives, so all your drives must be SATA bus (the modern current bus) to run.
On the motherboard there is a handy jumper connector for the front case wires that comes with the motherboard, you just plug the wires into the connector where labeled and then plug the connector into the jumper set on the motherboard, thank you MSI. Also this was the first computer I have built with a Solid State Drive and the data read/write speeds are indeed impressive. We splurged and bought the keyboard listed below, what can I say I never seen such a cool looking and well built keyboard, the colors and feel of the keys is impressive. This was a great project for me and my son, and the result was a screaming fast new computer which he loves, and was allot cheaper than buying complete from a regular vendor! Total cost was around 1400.00 if I remember right. stcroix_man2002@yahoo.com

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!
The Good: Came in a neat and frustration-free package. Like every Intel chip ever, it's made with a precision that defies belief. Heavy and solid feeling, with no visible manufacturing defects or lines. The i5-4690 is basically a second-gen architecture as of the time of this writing, using the most current of techniques, so it strikes a nice balance. Anecdotally, it performs better than the i7 series in some regards though it doesn't compete in terms of raw power under the hood. It handles overclocking very well; I'm currently OC'd at about 30% over stock, and while I've been able to push it to 4.7 or 4.8 ghz, that's when it starts to come off the rails for me a bit. It's been very stable at 4.6ghz for me and my water-cooled system with 3 radiators keeps it at a balmy 40c under full load. PerformanceTest rated this under load's CPU Mark as slightly better than an i7-3720, though well below the 5820K, with a total result of 9658.
The Bad: Not so much a bad as a limitation, over 4.6 ghz this CPU is prone to load errors and starts crashing unexpectedly.
Improvements: Way outside of my baliwick, so no improvements to mention.
TL;DR: A bit better than an i7 in a select few fields, though not as powerful overall; still, it overclocks like a champ and the price is well worth bumping down from the i7 for anything less than the most demanding of performance hunters, and it's very OC friendly.
Top reviews from other countries
This is a perfectly capable and functional CPU. It runs quick enough and retains temperatures at a reasonable level, however I did not use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU though it is probably adequate but if you are going to over clock I suggest that for the I5 you use the cooler master hyper 212 or something better. I have just started the computer so I have not had the time to monitor the temperature but it does appear to be maintaining a reasonable temperature.
For most people you really do not need the I7 CPU. For those that are doing some serious video editing or functions that chew multi thread or hyper threading power may require one. Those that go gaming crazy may need one but for the casual gamer this is perfectly fine and the system is quick.
The box comes with a thermal paste, small manual and a cooler. I only used the CPU from the box and bought an arctic silver 5 thermal paste, but really you do not need that as the one with the CPU is more than adequate but if you do want a better quality than go for the arctic silver. Again the CPU cooler is adequate but I chose to purchase the Cooler master Hyper 212 EVO. It provides better cooling and this computer is going to be active for at least 14 hours a day. If your are casual user you can go with the stock cooler.
We started the computer a few days ago and it really flies. I would suggest first time builders also use a SSD as your boot disk as this makes mince meat of starting up the computer as mechanical drives will take a longer period of time to start up windows. As you note putting in a bigger CPU will not make windows run faster. Get a good SSD like the kingston 120GB SSD. It will help.
Conclusion: I would recommend the I5 -4690K for anyone whether it's a gamer or a casual user. This is the minimum standard required now for your computer to be able to cope with the new software that will come out now and in the near future. You do not need to purchase a more powerful one unless you are doing some very heavy workloads or require it for some very serious gaming.
This is the highest i5 that you can possibly get on the Haswell Refresh series of CPU's. Now this CPU is amazing at overclocking due to me pairing it up with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which keeps it running at a moderately low 45C on idle. However when I start to max out games and start using CPU intensive applications, the CPU will hover at around 70C at maximum load. This temperature is well below it's cut off point (90-100C) before the CPU starts the thermal throttle.
If you are into editing or rendering videos, however, this is where the i5 struggles a bit. The i7 line of processors have something known as Hyperthreading, which activates 4 more virtual cores on your machine. So the i7 processor has 4 physical cores, but it has 8 if you combine physical cores and the virtual cores from Hyperthreading, whereas the i5 has no Hyperthreading, meaning that it is stuck at just 4 cores.
If you are not into these sort of things, then using the i5 for general usage or gaming should encounter no problems whatsoever. A nice thing that Intel has done was include a stock cooler, meaning that you can turbo boost to 3.9GHz if you do not feel like overclocking. This is a bonus, as the latest Intel Skylake K version processors do not include a stock cooler.
Another great thing about this CPU is that it runs in the LGA 1150 Socket, meaning that there are a variety range of Motherboards out there for you to choose from. If you are looking at overclocking, I recommend you going for a Z97 Chipset Motherboard.
So overall, do I recommend this product?
Yes, I highly recommend this product due to that it is not that far off from an i7, which is not worth spending the extra money at this moment in time.
