You're weighing the $62 difference between the Intel core i5 4690k and another model, unsure which offers better performance for your planned games. It seems both should handle DayZ Standalone and Arma 3 well at stock prices, but you're looking for the best fit for your needs.

The key distinction lies in the fact that buying the 4690k allows for overclocking to boost performance, whereas with the i5 4590 it's not sufficient to notice any improvement.

I need some guidance on choosing between them. The Intel core i5 4690k costs $62 more, but I think both games perform similarly at stock. Since you plan to play a lot of DayZ Standalone and Arma 3, which are very CPU-heavy, I’d like advice on the best option for you!

The distinction lies in whether you buy the 4690k and wish to boost performance, which is possible through overclocking. With the i5 4590 you can do it, though not enough to notice a difference. Do you think it’s worth it to upgrade to the Intel core i5 4690k? I might need it eventually for overclocking and streaming. Let me know!
