i5 4690K is it good?

[Lego Yoda]

Hey, I want to upgrade from an i3 4170 to a newr LGA 1150 CPU (I'm sticking with them to save myself from the hassle of installing new MoBo,RAM etc.) Is an i5 4690K good enough? I'm currentley using a GTX 1060 6GB, or will I fork over an extra 50/60€ for an i7 4790K?

not a 4170 but I would be suprised if there was a huge difference between a 4170 and 4130. Looks like both the i5 and i7 are noticeably faster than the i3.

4790k is 400mhz faster clock than vanilla 4790.

be careful when you upgrade the cpu,
make sure your current BIOS revision has support for the 4790/4690 processors.
make sure to get an appropriate cooler for it,
the wattage of the CPU does not exceed the maximum wattage of your motherboard's socket.
the new processor needs good airflow, so make sure everything's nice and clean inside that case at all times, it will be more finicky about dust than the i3 will

Other than that, you should be fine.

You will need, a phillips screwdriver, some alchohol, some paper towels, and most importantly some thermal interface material (TIM for short). TIM takes heat from the cpu and transfers it to the heatsink, there are varying grades of it, it can make a noticable difference between mid-grade, and high-end but if you're new to PC's and just want something easy, buy what's available. If buying a CPU that's NEW in a RETAIL BOX it will come with a heatsink/fan assembly and will also come with thermal interface material on the bottom of the heatsink (you won't need to buy any).
Keep in mind, you may not be very happy with the default stock cooler on the 4790k model of chip. I used mine for two days and couldn't stand it, damn thing couldn't even hold 4ghz base-clock without overheating and never saw turbo speeds advertised for longer than a second. So I threw out the junk stock cooler and bought a fancy one because it was RED, and lived life happily ever after. If this is too complicated for you, I can't say I blame you, and it is acceptable to use the stock cooler, after all this is what the manufacturer provides with the chip.

The old CPU can fetch a decent price on Craigslist or a hardware forum with parts for sale, surely you could get 50~80$ for it atleast. Keep it for a few weeks though to make sure your new machine is running well enough.
