Deciding on a CPU

[WolfoftheShadow7465]

So I'm looking to pick up a new CPU, mobo, and ram but am having trouble choosing between a 4790k, 6700k, or a 5820k. I want to use mostly for gaming with some programs open in background and maybe a little streaming now and then. Where I'm at the 4790k is cheapest but 5820k and 6700k are about even because I found a store selling 5820k for $320. What are your guys advice for which to choose

might as well get the 5820k

several years from now if you wanna upgrade you will always have the option of skylake or broadwell-e or whatever the next ones coming out are called

 

personally i would go 6700k though since i prefer core performance and dont really need 12 threads

i cans tream and render fine on 8

[spartaman64]

probably 6700k

skylake already came out and new cpus are probably going to use another socket

Wow thanks for the fast reply, I'll watch for a bit till funds come in and see how to use it then but I'll keep this in mind

no skylake E doesnt exist yet

where did you get that from

and there is a whole new series of 2011v3 CPUs going to be released this year, i said I couldnt remember if it was going to be called broadwell-e or skylake-e

but yes, they will be compatible on x99

if you dont have enough for 5820k/6700k a 4790k will still be great for everything you need to do, overkill even

maybe save some money and get the 4790k and a better GPU?

oh i thought you are just talking about regular skylake processors and there is no benefit with the 5820k with his workload in fact it might be slightly slower

It's confirmed as Broadwell-E last time I saw, but skylake-E could be a thing

ah ok, so its broadwell e that will be on x99 and skylake e will come in a few years and probably have a new socket

Something of that nature but I was feeling that they would just go past skylake-E and do next socket + new name Intel CPU-E
