Here is some more specific data about performance with specific apps. Be careful about over-simplification. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1260?vs=1316 The general speed of the 4790k/4770k for gaming is probably fine for the foreseeable future. However someone building a PC now needs to think beyond the CPUs of 2 years ago, and think about how long they want to keep their new rig relevant. The one thing that does not tend to show up on single task benchmarks is the overall impact on gaming of having six total cores.. two of which windows services get offloaded to, leaving the remaining four to perform gaming duty. This benefit tends to not show up in official benchmarks which are testing the games running dedicated on a system, as opposed to all the other background processes a typical user is likely to have. If someone already has a 4xxx CPU I wouldn't even think about upgrading it anytime soon. Building a new rig today, different story.
