But can it compare to the 6800k?

i would say its slightly worse at 3d rendering but slightly better at gaming

I also heard it can overclock better, I have an H100i, would overclocking it to 5ghz improve performance over the 6800k @4.5ghz?

An 6800K will be more powerful overall but will be slightly weaker per-core. For gaming it won't make a difference which one you choose, but for CPU-heavy stuff the 6800K will be better. If you take workstation tasks over gaming, a 6800K is an obvious choice.

If you have the cash to buy brand new I would go with the newest which is the 7700k, frankly the results are very close to the same here, it is like stated, one might be better on rendering and such while the other will perform better at gaming perhaps due to frequency but both will do perfectly at either regardless.

lmfao people recommending 7700K already without properly reading OP's post and looking in-depth reviews of Kaby Lake.

About 40% Gaming and 60% Workstation

 

Note: Both Gaming and Workstation use are EXTREMELY Important To Me, But I Take Workstation > Gaming

6800k.

But will it be a big difference?

Does it justify the price?

Just get the 6800K (personally I'd say get a 5820K instead because there's not a huge difference in performance but it's cheaper) and overclock it. the 4 extra threads can really help in rendering.

I guess i'm going with the 6800k then  

 

Thanks for your responses guys!

Well both uses the same motherboard so you could buy a cheaper skylake mobo to use with the 7700k and save yourself some money, however if you'll work Professionaly with the PC and expect it to be a powerful workstation for actual money making work while game is the second thing, then I suppose the i7 6800k would justify in performance gain.

Yeah, im prolly going for the 6800k

or you could pick up one of the "cheap" 5820ks that have been floating around. I've seen them go as low as 250 shipped on occasion, and they overclock better than the 6 series.

The 6800K is around 31% faster in multithreaded tasks and around 12% slower in singlethreaded ones. If the price difference isn't abnormally huge, I'd get the 6800K if I did lots of workstation stuff.

I think i'd rather go for the 6800k since im buying new

but if the 5820k is noticeably cheaper where you are located, I'd go for that.

For my personal build, I was considering a 6800k, but there was a 60 dollarish delta between that and the 5820k at microcenter, so I saved some money and got a basically identical chip.

What about upgrade path?

X99 is X99

same socket, so you can upgrade to any 2011-3 chip in the future
