i7-4790k or i5-6600k For The Long Run

i7-4790k or i5-6600k for the long run. Currently getting a 980ti and plan to upgrade to the top end card in two years and keep that for another 3. The 4790k seems like an obvious choice to me but i want to hear what the LTT community has to say :). (Yes i need the upgrade as i currently have a old-er gaming laptop and would like to finally get a desktop).

The i7 4790K hasn't really dropped much in price, you should be looking at the i7 6700k.

New build, get the Skylake.

There's no reason to buy Haswell for a new build, Skylake is so close in price to Haswell you may as well get the newer platform.

Moreless for now but considering the reverse hyperthreading of skylake it is temporary.

Is proof of the edram I saw benchmArks on this very forum showing a broad we'll beat skylake

does anyone know where those benchmarks were, their source, and remember where they were?(or if they were valid because i do remember them existing)

I read some reviews about the 128Mb edram of 5775c. However Broadwell doesn't overclock as well as Devil's Canyon and Skylake K CPUs in general. 5775c may have advantage in some scenario. Skylake will win in others. 1 or 2 FPS difference in games in either ways really shouldn't be a deal breaker when you think about long term.

 

All else being equal. I'd prefer a newer platform for longer term use. Z170 has far more bandwidth for storage. It'll become handy with super fast M.2 SSDs when the price comes down more. Also the USB3.1 and type c for future proofing.

I can agree on the general logic of that. I hope the edram comes to skylake or its successor at some point...
