Alright. I changed the cpu to a 6800k. I noticed the motherboard ima use https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XXL7YJ/asus-motherboard-rampagevextremeu3 doesn't support ddr4 3333 but when i put 3333 ram in pcpartpicker it said it was compatible help

2011 v3 and 6th gen CPUs are DDR4 and I am not sure that that mobo works out of the box with broadwell-e (6800k), it might need a bios update

Probably doesn't have an profile on the bios to run the ram at 3333mhz. But if you enable xmp and do a lil bit of tweaking. It should get the 3333mhz.

For gaming and occasional editing, the i6-6600K is your most cost effective choice.

 

An i7 won't help gaming much (a few fps difference, at best) and the only thing the i7 does for editing is reduce the render time. If you are only editing occasionally, saving a few minutes in render time is not cost effective.

Put the money saved by using an i5 towards a better graphics card, or a bigger/better SSD, etc.

Thats the FPS.

Lag not coming from low fps, lag coming from CPU stuttering when at 100% usage. for i5,

I had i5 4.5 GHZ was stuttering so much in some maps, even if i had 100 fps i was lagging here and there, because of cpu stuttering.

When i bought i7, same FPS, but no more stuttering, not at all, i saw a huge improvement.

Now you can trust me, or trust the numbers on a sheet, but if you try it for yourself, you'll see. everyone says the same everywhere, i5 does a good job for most games, but in bf1, it ca nhandle it well, but certainly not perfectly and not for all maps.

I had some maps running perfectly tho, but some huge maps were soooo laggy with the i5..

Just one question - did you go from an i5-6500/6600 to an i7-6700, or did you go from some earlier i5 such as a 3570 or 4650?

[TheSuspect]

I myself asked this many times a few months ago and was told to go with the 6700k since it's single core performance is better, it's base and boost is higher and performs better in gaming and nearly similar in editing when compared to the 5820k. Can't complain about render times. Using premiere pro as an example, 2 minute sequences render in about a minute and thirty seconds without any raising of priority levels with a 1070. 

The only reason you'd need a 5820k over the 6700k is if the extra 2 cores will actually go to use. Other than that, it's pretty much money wasted.

The 5820k if you do a lot of high end video editing. Both are overkill for gaming but the 6700k will out perform it because it has faster single core speed.
