Upgrading from Fx6300: 4790k vs 6700k vs 5820k

[bigjerry987]

I built my rig about a year ago:
-Fx-6300
-MSI Gaming 970 MOB
-8G 1600Mhz ripjaws
-MSI Gaming GTX 970
-EVGA Nex 650W psu

I fell like upgrading my cpu since I feel that it bottlenecks my GPU plus its struggles with streaming. I was wondering what would be the best choice of upgrade for Gaming/streaming and video rendering, considering the need for DDR4 ram for both the 5820k and 6700k.

Looking forward to your inputs

5820k is the way to go when the 6700k is so much

5820k would be the best choice considering how overpriced the 6700k is . But if you really want to keep your ram... get the 4790k

5820K is really an incredible value. Just take one of these and you'll have fun. Skylake is toexpensive (20$ more) in comparison to Haswell Extreme. X99 is also a great platform since thats real professional stuff, quad-channel, more pcie-lanes on CPU and mor pcie plugs on most motherboards, and so on.

-Perfect combo-

And with your H105 you can definetly overclock that thing to beyond 3,8GHz

[Kryptyx]

It depends on your usage, the 4790K or 5820K are both great options. The 4790K performs like a champ and will be plenty powerful for quite some time if you rather stick with DDR3.

If you look at todays RAM prices it's not a huge factor

4690K or 6600K if it's for gaming. Hyperthreading won't help you, so save the extra money. Unless you actually need it for productivity. EDIT: Just noticed you wanted the extra power for streaming, so ignore that last bit, HT will help but not much for just 1080p/ 30 FPS, however at higher FPS or resolution it will.

 

5820K is a good choice if stepping up to that tier won't make you cheap out on the motherboard. There's only one 'cheap' motherboard I would touch on X99 and that is the AsRock Extreme4 M-ATX board. The Fatal1ty is almost exactly the same with a colour swap, but it has a worse secondary Killer NIC compared to the Extreme 4's superior dual Intel NIC.

He said it struggle with streaming which means he streams without shadow play so the 5820k is the best option.

[tbsgbhrdt]

But TekSyndicate seems fairly happy with the MSI one. It's in Pistols build. And I'd really go with ATX in an fullsize tower.

Yeah I edited the post when I saw

Depending on when you want to upgrade, it might be worth waiting for Broadwell-E

[smittywits]

As you didn't mention any budget, I'd go with a 5820k. Just make sure you don't cheap out on the motherboard, you'll want to overclock for sure.

[bigjerry987]

Yeah, Its probably what I gonna do since the expected release date for Broadwell-e is Q2. I think the wait is worth it, if only for possible price drops or sales on current gen CPU, even if we didnt see much of it with the 4790k

 

At this point it not much of a budget thing haha

 

[tbsgbhrdt]

lBut Broadwell E is going to be more expensive than Skylake an that probably wouldn't be worth it.
