2 more cores then the 6700k and doesn't cost a fortune like the 5960x.

Please don't use that text color, it makes it difficult to read on night mode. Use auto.

 

That being said, 5820k, for the same reasons as the boi above me.

 

G3258 V 860k (Spoiler: G3258 wins)

At stock performance, most likely the i6700 will outperform 5820k for gaming applications.  5820k requires some OC/tweaking to make up for that shortcoming.

 

5820k allows for 3 way sli if you plan on going that route.  5930 and 5960x allows for 4 way sli.  I6700 will allow for only 2 way.

 

5820k has quad channel memory but most applications won't take advantage of that unless I think if you have a ton of background applications running at the same time.  That goes the same for the increased core count.

 

I chose the 5820k for my build.
