6600k vs 4790k

[azorGFX]

I can get new 6600k with mobo and 8gb of ram for the same price as 4790k + mobo, what should i buy?

PC will be used for gaming and ps/ai/cinema 4d/sony vegas work.

 

Here are some benchmarks i found (sorry for Polish, this is the best i have).

I would go with the  i7-6700K

 

Please disregard that, I though the title read 6700K, not 6600K. I would go with the 4790K

4790k for sure, more performance 

[Fulgrim]

But how much does it cost for DDR4 ram over DDR3 in your country?

[Curufinwe_wins]

6600k is supposed to be 100 dollars cheaper. Grab that. If same price (yes I know mobo and ddr4 will be more but that imho is worth it) then get the 4790k.

That is an i7 vs an i5... For gaming only, the i5 may be a better option, but for daily use / 3d rendering and video work like you do, i7 will destroy an i5.

[Weak1ings]

Go with the 6600k because it supports far more PCI-E lanes than the 4790K.  You could for example, have two way SLI in 16x on both + a PCI-E/M.2 SSD

It's also a little newer for what it's worth...

 

I recommend the 4790K actually, (I am still unfamiliar with this naming scheme) it does provide more performance and lacks only in iGPU.

The i7-4790K is a superior CPU to the i5-6600K, especially with DX12 games incoming.

4790k

4790k or 6700k (an i7)

[Briggsy]

6600k doesn't have as much cache and doesn't have hyperthreading. DDR4 has no advantage (performance-wise) over DDR3 presently. You have a good chance of getting a low voltage Vietnam 4790K right now.

 

I wouldn't buy an i5 Skylake over an i7 Haswell if they are the same price, heck ever if the i5 is cheaper... but each to their own.

[azorGFX]

I have HyperX Fury 2x8GB 1866MHz CL10, will it hold up? Is for example A-Data XPG Z1 2x4GB 2800MHz CL17 ddr4 much faster?

 

 

4790k or 6700k (an i7)

i7 skylake + ram + mobo is way out of my reach

[NumLock21]

4790K, but them news board will give you 20 extra gen 3 lanes for your other devices. So you can run 2-way SLI and not have to worry about, is there enough lanes to run a pcie ssd, like the Intel 750. Z97's M.2 limited to x2 mode, Z170's M.2 runs at full speed at x4. Xeon might be another option, when it comes out.

[Pool]

I would honestly go for the 6600K. That kind of machine is usually temporary or for amateur use. the 6600K will give more pieces for less and whenever you earn enough money through design jobs just get a second PC with a Xeon, 

 

Furthermore in the case of PS/AI the new graphic chip is giving better OpenCL results, I do think it will actually give better performance than the 4790K in those applications depending on how they handle CPU graphics.

[azorGFX]

I'm concerned that i7 is the older architecture with older ram but at the same time i'm already throwing out my M5A99FX and would hate to also replace just bought ddr3 ram + i5 build will be half in ram capacity for the same money.

 

Which one will be faster and last me longer?

[Modzy]

for any cinema 4d work the 4790k with its 8 threads will always crush a 4 thread cpu. 6600k is not worth the money in your case.

[azorGFX]

What mobo should i get for the 4790k? I found these two below, which one will be better? For what it's worth i like MSI better because it looks much better and would suit my build better.
