Do you mean the 6700k? If so, that'll be your best bet, since it has great overclocking potential

I also do lots of multitasking like recording skype and any game all at once so would the 6 core be better for $60 more (including mobo)

I do fine with my 4790k (no OC even), so a 6700k will be even better

There's no reason to get a 5820k over a 6700k unless you do a lot of rendering
