The additional clock speed and hyperthreading definitely allow for snappier and smoother performance. Gaming performance is improved massively compared to the i5-4430 when it comes to the latest AAA games, with a 15-30 percent improvement in performance in older games that have little use for more than four threads.
Installing it was easy. All it involved was swapping out the i5-4430 and inserting this CPU in its place along with a fresh application of thermal paste and reusing the original OEM HP cooler. It runs slightly hotter than the i5, but temps stayed below 70c even under intensive testing. Overall, I am very pleased with this processor.
The i7-4790k was still over $200 at the time I did the upgrade, and that would have been the CPU I would have gone for had it been closer to the non-K version in price due to its additional performance.
September 2020 Update: The PC this went in has been retired as of June 2020, but I enjoyed the short time I had it with this processor. My only regret is that I purchased the processor near the tail end of the HP Envy 700-074's useful life. I have since replaced it with a Ryzen 5 3600-based iBUYPOWER prebuilt, and I'm enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the Envy 700-074 in its early days of use in the fall of 2013.

I landed on the i7-4790. Didnt spend the extra money for the K version, because I am using this for real world apps, and dont play games at all (dont have the spare time).
I ditched the factory Intel CPU cooler and went with a CoolerMaster EVO 212, after reading several other reviews on it, where in their tests it was keeping the chip cooler than water cooled setups.
All in all, I am in love with this new setup.
