Which Intel 1150 CPU 4690k or 4790s

[Willis]

I need to chosse a new CPU for my mini ATX 1150 mobo, it going to be used manly for Video Editing in Premier Pro and some gaming. My budget is around the £150-70 mark and 2 CPU's i've looked at are a Core i5-4690K and a i7 4790S.

Now the i5 K chip can be overclocked but don't think the i7 S chip can be overclocked as its locked, well so i'm lead to believe.

Any thoughts what people would go for, will the i7 when boosted be better than a OC'ed i5 chip

Only the K chips can be overclocked, the S chip is 26% more energy efficient according to this site and is normally used on PC's left on 24\7 or laptops.

How much video editing do you do? the I7 K version would be the best bet for this job due to the more threads it has over the I5 which only has 4 threads

I personally would go for the i7 , and a nice chunk of ram too

nice if you can get an i7 for £150 though ...mine cost me £300 lol

with small size form factor you will be facing heat constraint anyways so the overclocking will be limited. Go with the i7.

If I was not going to overclock manually I'd buy a 4790k, That's because it's base clock is what the others boost to meaning it's significantly faster than all the other i7's. I've run a 4770k at stock and a 4790k at stock and there is a difference.

4790k is a extra £100, my budget is £150ish

If you're video editing I'd go with the extra threads of the i7, the extra clock speed of an overclocked 4690k would probably be undetectable anyway.
