Yes. If you got a board that good for free, go and do it. You get two extra cores in exchange, and a much higher end chipset to go with it

just for gaming? no it wouldn't really be worth it at all, but if you got the board free... sure why not? though you'll still be using 4 cores or less gaming, and at stock speeds the 4770k has better single core performance

Though at the same speeds the performance is the same as they both feature regular, Haswell cores.

If he eventually wants to go for workstation work the 4770K supports 32GB of ram max and the 5820K unofficially 128GB max. plus the 2 extra cores. But for gaming it's not going to make a bit of difference. then again why not wait for Broadwell-E? and use the 4770k until then. The x99 board will support it and the replacement for the 5820k will cost the same and perform slightly, if not a lot better

but wouldn't that require a bios update? if I have no CPU currently available how would I do the update?

Yes it would need a bios update,  some boards will allow you to temporarily run without a supported chip. But I think those are strictly AMD boards not sure though...  There will probably be a way around it though. Back in the old days a board would turn on at least with a cpu installed and you could force flash an update with the recovery jumper installed and a floppy drive.  Of course you can't do it that way now  but I'm sure there's probably a way to do it. Like if it has a removable BIOS chip (I haven't looked up the board), you could remove it and flash it with a reader. There's always a way even if you have to temporarily borrow a cpu

 

come to think of it, some boards have an emergency BIOS recovery mode that will allow you to flash with a USB flash drive and a press of a button

yes it has USB flash back, you could download the BIO file to a flash drive, plug it in, press the button and in theory it'd work

just sell the X99 motherboard online...the 4770 is more than enough for gaming...for years.

thanks for the feedback, think I'll wait a bit then, maybe get a good deal later on, I hear broadwell-E might have a 10 core and if it does, the guy I got the mobo from will probably upgrade to that and I'll buy his 5960X off him. We'll see I guess.

I'd rather hold onto it, I won't get what it's worth for it and I'd rather just keep it in case I need it further down the line.
