5820K with a quad channel Kit of ram. The 5820k usually hits around 4.5 So in gaming it should be the same, but your multithreaded applications will run faster, and not to mention your fire strike score will go up due to physx

Second one, the i7 6700k has a single core IPC and more than enough threads anyway for gaming.

 The first one is better (I personally preferr Gigabyte over Msi ) and the 5820k, when overclocked, is waaay more versatile.
