Posted August 29, 2015 Going to build a new pc, but wondring which Cpu and mobo to go with? Msi x99 sli plus and 5820k or Asus hero 8 z170 and 6700k they cost the same. The pc is going to be used for gaming and daily use (browsing, watching vids/films,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 29, 2015 Fr gaming and everyday use, the 6700k is better... For heavy video editing, the 5820k would be better. i7 6700k - 32GB DDR4-2133 - GTX 980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 29, 2015 5820K To me Skylake and x99 price difference is too little and it makes the skylake "not worth it" over x99 MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 w/Core i5 3210M and glorious HD 4000 Graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 29, 2015 If youre fine with spending the cash then a 5820 is a better cpu, but both of those are overkill for gaming. a 4690/6600 would give the same performance Updated 2021 Desktop || 3700x || Asus x570 Tuf Gaming || 32gb Predator 3200mhz || 2080s XC Ultra || MSI 1440p144hz || DT990 + HD660 || GoXLR + ifi Zen Can || Avermedia Livestreamer 513 || New Home Dedicated Game Server || Xeon E5 2630Lv3 || 16gb 2333mhz ddr4 ECC || 2tb Sata SSD || 8tb Nas HDD || Radeon 6450 1g display adapter || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 29, 2015 I'd go for 5820k just for the extra 2 cores. But you don't need either of those two builds if you are going to using it only for gaming. You'd be good with 4th Generation Haswell chips like i5 4690K.

Posted August 29, 2015 5820k is more suited for programs that munch on cores more so than speed, so unless you try your hand at making videos or something then the 6700k will be faster and overclock better (from what we've seen this far) CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma Bit of an AMD fan I suppose.

Posted August 29, 2015 I would say go with Z97 and a 4690K if you're just gaming/browsing, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pc is going to be used for gaming and daily use (browsing, watching vids/films,) You're getting one of these cpus just for gaming watching movies and browsing? Both of these are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overkill. But I'd go with the 5820k. I highly suggest you get neither and instead get a 4690k or 4790k.

Posted August 29, 2015 5820k for sure. For the same price, the 5820k is miles ahead of the 6700k in terms of performance in video editing, and most moderate-heavily multithreaded programs. Although you have the same gaming performance, the greater core count might come in handy in the future, and the extra pci lanes are great for 2 way sli setups and a pci ex4 ssd running all at once.

Posted August 29, 2015 Hahahahaha at people who picked 6700k.The 5820k is a better CPU. No doubt about it. And it costs the same as 6700k Skylake. 5820k wins hands down.

Posted August 29, 2015 As we said if you are gaming get an i5, if you do any kind of content creation get the 5820K... Easy. At 4.5Ghz on both (both OC'ed, and should be easy enough to reach on both) there is like 5% difference in IPC... Else get what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 29, 2015 well i dont do any cc but i still want to have an i7. I have the money and i want to build a kickass and futureproof pc. Futureproof is a myth - plus its better to change twice as often - you get way more bang and have a spare pc you can resell or handmedown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 29, 2015 Author Well, i was also thinking that if sell the pc in like 2-3 years that i might get more money if it has been equipt with an 5280k over the 6700k. any thought on that?

Probably but whether the increased spend over an i5 is worth it for purely gaming is questionable. Also in 3+ years we will start seeing 2011V3 second hand server parts becoming available (Like the first gen 6 core Xeons that are going for dirt cheap right now.)

Posted August 29, 2015 Ok, is the latter positive or negative? Ok to put in perspective. i5-760 was £150 its now £25 ish i7-920 was £200 its now £40 i7-950 was £250 its now £50 Xeon X5660 was £1200? is now £80 Spending more for a return in 3 years is a bit pointless.

Posted August 29, 2015 Author OOk, well i am going to buy a i7, but i am not buying it basing it on that i am going to sell it in a few years. here in norway the 5820k is actually 15 bux cheaper than the 6700k.

Posted August 30, 2015 The pc is going to be used for gaming and daily use (browsing, watching vids/films,) for your use the 6700K will perform better, it has higher IPC and is faster when it comes to gaming and anything else that is 6 threads or less...the 5820K will pull ahead in rendering, trancoding and compression for example...gaming: 6700K has a nice advantage and will last longer. Also, i think for your use case an i5-6600K would be a better pick if it allow you to put more money toward a stronger GPU or just nicer parts overall... | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
