for purely gaming get a 4790K

 

A 5820k Wont benefit you in a gaming scenario to justify its extra cost.

I'd get the 4790k.  The 5820k is only "expensive" because the special Mobo and ram required for X99 systems is expensive

What do you intend to use it for?

 

The 5820K is more geared toward content creation and encoding (lower CPU frequency but more cores) where as the 4790K is great for gaming (higher single core frequency but fewer cores). 

ASRock X99X Killer, i7 5820K @4Ghz, 16Gb Crucial DDR4, 2x 250Gb Samsung Evo, WD 2TB Black + 2TB Red, Corsair 750D, EVGA Supernova G2 850 & GTX 980 (ref.)

First what are you doing with your computer? If your only gaming, an I5 would suit you. If you doing content creation I would suggest the i7-4790k. The problem with the 5820k is that it is more expensive over all. x99 mobos are more expensive and the RAM is to overpriced because of how new DDR4 is.

 

If you want to save money and you are doing content creation, then go with the 4790k, If you don't care about money, go with the 5820k

 

I personlay am using a 4790k and Im LOVING it.

As an owner of a 4790k, this cpu is great. Overclocking is great, and performance is great. Not sure about the 5820k though.

When it comes to real world operations and need of a normal home use like us even the 4790K is not justified. wanna pay less and get more then i5 4690K if you wanna pay equals to what you get then 4790K if you want to waste your money and almost not going to use it even 50% for next 3 years then 5820K . now up to you... normal user need is not more then 4690K till now. 4690k overclocked to 4.5ghz will bash any Fx8xxx Amd CPU . don't just look at 50 euros of CPU . Ram and Mobo for 5820K are way more expensive then Z97 chipset mobos.

I'm not sure when the Broadwell and Skylake (14nm) CPU architecture is coming out, but seeing as it will be arriving some time this year '15/'16 you might just want to hold off for a bit. Unless your in a hurry!

Yeah, I would recommend to wait to upgrade until Skylake comes out
