I paired the CPU (i5-4690K) with a Z97 mobo (MSI z97s SLI Krait Edition). At the outset, I set CPU multiplier to 45 (4.5GHz) and manual voltage to 1.200V. Windows booted fine. This indicates that I have a decent chip that can be overclocked.

I have been using prime95 (v27.9 and v28.5), AIDA64, OCCT 4.4.1, Realbench 2.2 and Intel XTU for stress test. All of them give stable results except for prime95 v28.5. This version of prime95 has AVX2 instruction set that literally cooks the Haswell CPUs...

I was too damn impatient to buy it, so I bought it from IT Depot.
Anyways.
It's SAME. SAME EVERYWHERE WITH THE 4670K.
Is it worth the extra?
Yes :D
Pros:
MASSIVELY LOW HEAT THAN THE 4670K
More headroom for overclocking
Cons:
ABSOLUTELY NONE
Go for it. Don't think.
Just go.
Press buy now.

Great deal of Flipkart. Thanks Flipkart.

If you are confused between i5 4690k and fx 8350 k, the i5 4690k is the way to go. Its 4 cores beat AMD's 8 cores in gaming and surprisingly in rendering too. Moreover , it comes with Intel HD 4600 , an IGPU which can run many popular games like WoW, CS GO, Dota2, LoL and FC3 at good fps.
FX8350 is a good choice if you have a budget not more than 10k-12k.

Is it value for money for a gaming rig? Absolutely not!
If you are building a completely new gaming rig on a budget you should probably consider AMD first.
That being said, I was considering FX8350 and i5 4690K for a gaming rig.
Finally settled on 4690K for a few reasons -
- For FX8350+Overclocking, I'd had to upgrade my PSU(I already have a good one) and buy a new CPU cooler, which would amount to more that 4690K's cost.
- LGA1150 socket is more future proof. AM3+ socket is dead, AMD is mo...
