390x and 980ti aren't comparable at all is why. If he asked between a 980 and 390x, it would've been landslide 390x.

Then here is my next question (poll will be added) 6700k or 5820k or 5930k?

4790k. Skylake isn't worth the extra cost (if it's more than a bit more -- which is almost always is excluding a few random bundle deals). Haswell E offers very little in terms of added gaming performance (basically none -- assuming you can manage to get the same overclock).

As far as gaming goes, the answers will be 6700k/6600k.

The cost difference now is actually basically non-existent these days. Just depends on what brand you're looking at.

There's still a $70 difference ($50 for a 6600k vs. 4690k).
