CPU for my new pc

[MatthewLynch]

Hi, I want to build my new pc and not sure whar CPU should I get. I have been recomended Intel i5-4960K an i5-6600K. Which one do you think I should get? I am going to use it for gaming and some 3d modeling. <My video card is MSI r9 390.

Thanks

well they'll perform about the same but i'd recommend a xeon for 3d modeling

I would go for i5-6600K, the i5-4690K is cheaper, and can use cheaper RAM and Mobo, but the i5-6600k have a socket that will last longer, but if you sure that you will never change the CPU, I would stay with the i5-4690K, because performance will not change much, like 3%

Xeon 1231 V3 or I7 for rendering. It sure loves its cores.

That would be very good for rendering.

yeh it will be a big overkill for just rendering... lol

Depends if you want to overclock. If not, then get the Xeon E3-1231 V3..If you do, then the 4790k is a pretty good option. I can't say much about Skylake. It's pretty new..But I would assume the 6700k is a better option than the other two?

Hardly, if you're doing lots of rendeing it will be used to 100%
