Upgrading PC! Need help to decide!

[Etrabon]

Hello! 

 

I have a hard choice to make...

I can´t decide if I should get the new i7 6800k or the i7 6700k for my rig. I would pair it with the RoG Strix Gaming X99 MoBo for the 6 core and a MSI Gaming pro Carbon ( or another one, not too sure ) for the 4 core. 

 

This is about me upgrading from:

 

My current Rig:

 

GPU: R9 390 Asus Strix

CPU: i7 3770 (Cooled with BeQuiet silent rock)

MoBo: A crappy old mini ATX board from Gigabyte.

RAM: Some extremely ugly bare bones green pcb RAM

Storage: 3 year old 120GB Kingston SSD and 3 year old 1TB WD Green

PSU: Thermaltake 750W 80+ Bronze 

Sound Card: Asus Xonar D2X

Case: Enthoo Evolv ATX ( Phanteks ) 

 

My planned set up:

 

GPU: R9 390 Asus Strix

CPU: i7 6800k / 6700k (Cooled by H110i GTX 280mm for overclocking)

MoBo: X99 Asus Strix Gaming / MSI Z170 Gaming pro Carbon

RAM: 16 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 Kingston HyperX Fury 

Storage: 2x 480GB HyperX Savage SSDs in Raid 0 and a SAMSUNG 950 pro M.2 for my OS (might be little overkill)

PSU: Thermaltake 750W 80+ Bronze

Sound Card: Asus Xonar D2X

Case: Enthoo Evolv ATX ( Phanteks ) 

 

As you can see I plan on upgrading not building a completely new machine. I think I´ll be fine with my not so old GPU my ( pretty amazing ) Case, the Sound Card and PSU. 

If that isn´t the case please comment on that topic aswell. 

 

I plan on doing frequent video editing and high quality picture manipulation. And the CPU should be able to handle many demanding programs without comprimise. Such as Rendering Gaming Recording and so on... 

 

I have the money to go for the i7 6800k but I can´t seem to figure out if it´ll be an impact on my gaming experience. I see the 6700k has better single core performance and that has me worried. If the i7 6800k only has about 5-10 fps less in a few games then I´ll be ok with it but otherwise it will bother me. I have a 144Hz Monitor, that is why I need all the FPS I can get.  

 

I will overclock my chip ( probably not to max but to  ~4.1 GHz if I get the 6800k) will it then be able to alsmost match single core performance speed ?

 

Thanks to all who try to help in advance! I´d appreciate your advice!

 

 

P.S: I´m from Austria.

if you care about benchmarks then yes you will notice the difference, but only in the score and nothing else. In gaming you won't notice the difference and it will definitely not be more then 10fps. Most likely not even 5. So it really doesn't matter much which you choose for gaming.

 

In editing the 2 extra cores are going to matter so the 6 core is the better option there and probably for the picture manipulation as well. So based on that the choice seems obvious doesn't it?

I think you are right. I guess I just needed someone to reassure me! Thanks!
