You make it sound like there is a huge difference in performance between the two i7s, which is not the case. Sure, the 6700K is faster, but not by a lot. Here are a couple of benchmarks that can hopefully give OP a good idea of their performance (Dolphin, x264 video encoding, video conversion)
Even if the difference isn't huge, it is still better

So you are saying it's better to go with 6700K for Dolphin as well with recording? Will it run any game with no lag/slowdowns?
The i7-6700K has 2 generations of improvements over the i7-4790K, so in Dolphin, its around 5-15% faster. Because the other cores are also faster, it'll be able to handle more CPU intensive tasks.
Of the top of my head, I can't think of any games that are so brutal that the i7-6700K won't run because of the optimizations that Dolphin has made over the years.
