Why do you need 6 cores opposed to something like 4 cores and 8 threads

because when you have money to spend why not

How about this? I honestly recommend a 4 core on a 1,600 budget

He never stated what he needed it for. Why would I get him a 5820K if it's not gonna pose a benefit?

[Killervolt]

Pretty much the only 6 core option at this price is an FX-6300 hich the xeon beats by days. So there . . .

I typically don't argue with a users request, Even if they want a AMD CPU Even though an i3 will beat p-much any AMD CPU. Unless I KNOW I can swing them, But if they want a 6-Core so be it.

Because he asks for it. Customer is king. Xeons are crap I mean 3.4Ghz??? When a 4690k or 6600K does 4.5-4.7Ghz overclock at the same price?

You can't possibly be that oblivious that the Xeon has hyperthreading. That's what I was going for.

Here. Something that can do some serious buttkicking, below 1500, saving even more when u add MIB!!

Because a 5820k or 6700K don't have HT?

 

No one gives a shit about HT in gaming...

the i5 6600k is overpriced shit, at least right now

I didn't think I needed to state that right now.

Eh.... I would say they would exchange blows pretty much..

 

And more compute performance, so unless you want to play batman arkham knight, you should be fine.

6600k is overpriced shit when some overclock to the same level as a 6700k? 

 

OP wanted a 6 core, so 5820K is only option anyways

[colson10]

ignore this

Yippie? Wait what?

 

Since I'm here, are these overclockable?

The whole 6000 series is overpriced. Honestly, DDR4 and that type of CPU isn't even worth to get at the mainstream level. I'd still take a 4790K at this point. 

Also would help of the OP would give a use...

Finally...

Buying a 4790k is like buying a Samsung S5.

 

 

4790K: € 351,80

6700K: € 361,79

 

DDR3 @ 2400Mhz: € 101,60

DDR4: @ 2400Mhz: € 114,46

 

So yeah... but still no 6 cores.

[BrandonTheCat]

DDR3 @ 2400Mhz: € 101,60

DDR4: @ 2400Mhz: € 114,46

Good to see DDR4 come down in price. Havent really been keeping my eye on the market. 

Whatevs... There isn't really a performance difference. Also, S5 vs the S6 was such a huge performance jump it was basically double... Next time use that analogy on a GPU refresh. ●ᴥ●
