I have decided... I am going to go the X99 route and get a 5820K, cause 6800K offers little gains and costs $80-100 more... 

Something else to consider... Dont compare it directly against the cost of the 5820k, but rather the cost of your entire system. Lets say your budget is $1500. the question isn't 400 for a 5820k or 500 for 6800k, the question is 1500 for a 5820k or 1600 for 6800k.

It still may not be worth it for you, in which case no sweat. but its something to keep in mind.

GL and enjoy your system!

I think I am going to be more "futureproof" this time and get a 5820K... After all I might be getting a GTX 1070 later this year... If not, I'll get the RX 480!

For gaming the 5820k is way way over kill for a 480

ud be better off with a i5 6500 and a 1080

AMD (and proud) r7 1700 4ghz- 

also (1600) 

asus rog crosshairs vi hero x370-

MSI 980ti G6 1506mhz slix2 -

h110 pull - acer xb270hu 1440p -

 corsair 750D - corsair 16gb 2933

It's kinda late... I have already ordered the 5820K... remember! I said that I AM going to do content creation on the machine... so the i7 does yield some benefit there... not to mention it has better multitasking ability
