Hello.
I want to upgrade some components of my Pc to be more specific CPU, Motherboard, Ram.
My doubt whit the CPU is which one of those will perform better for games.
- Intel® Core™ i7-5930K Processor (15M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
- Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)

at stock the 6700k will be better AT THE MOMENT

 

When DX 12 hits (soon) games will get a significant bump from extra cores. However unless you're planning multiple GPUS (3+) you should just grab the 5820K and throw the saved $$$ at ram or better GPU

personal I would save the money and spend it else where, like a better graphics card or bigger SSD if the PC is just for gaming.

 

the 5930K is a better CPU and has 6 cores over the 6700K's 4 cores but the 6700K dose have a higher clock speed which a a lot of games can favor.

 

Basically the 5930K will be give you slightly more FPS but not enuf to justify the cost.

 

if it is just a gaming rig then the 6700K will be fine.

 

hope i was helpful.

No just i will just stick whit single GPU i have a ASUS GEFORCE GTX980 TI. So 6700K should be better?

Assuming you are gaming, the 6700K has a better price/performance ratio. 

The 5930K is really overpriced and should be a good 100 dollars less, however 5930K is slightly better than 6700K.

Well if the 6700K is better i will save allot more cause the 5930K is 650€ ant the 6700K 394€.
