Best part is I almost got a 4790K from Walmart LOL.

OP, for a new build you're better off going Skylake. Not a huge performance difference but if you shop smart the price difference is almost nothing.

walmart does have everything

 

if your budget allows there's nothing wrong with going with the latest architecture

Linus already posted a video on this. Skylake will give you slightly better gaming performance (better single-core performance). Haswell-E will give you considerably better video editing / creative apps (think Adobe CC) performance (more cores, better full-CPU performance). FWIW, you can get an i7-5820k for $300 from Microcenter if you pick it up in-store.
