Which CPU to buy?

[HarrySidhu]

Hello every one,

I am not able to decide that which cpu to buy.

Intel 6800K OR 6850K?

Please help me decide which is better and have a good value for money.

Do you need the extra PCI-E lanes? Are you a content creator or 3D rendering (Anything very CPU intensive). What will you do with your PC?

It would help if we knew what you'll be using it for.

Yes i am going to use it for 3d rendering as I am a student of 3D and VFX.

I'd say 6800K is fine unless you're working with 4K+ footage.

And you dont need the extra PCIE lanes? If not, the 6800K is better value (Obviously the 6850K is still slightly faster though).

The performance of a non-overclocked 6850K, yes, but I assume you're going to overclock either one so not really.
