Ok, so I know there is a core amount difference but what the general consensus on the Core i7-5820k vs i7-6700 vs i7-6800.  Also considering a but of future/longevity from the choice as well.

Depends what you need it for. Gaming? 6700k. Productivity stuff will benefit from extra cores.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Why do the processors seem to take a step backwards in specs from  5820k as it climbs into 6700 and 6800?

Well 6800 is the "new" 5820, so it's hardly a step back. 6700 on the other hand targets different customer so it has less cores, since it's designed for more casual use..
