If you're going for pure gaming, go with the 7700K with lower cores, but higher IPC / Overclocks.

If you're going for gaming + workstation/productivity, go with the 5820k. Should be able to reach nice overclocks with the hexacore too.

7700K by far, especially if you only care about gaming.

 

5 Ghz+ overclocks will require a delid though, to keep temps from going insane.

5820k is amazing. Easily overclocked to 4.5ish, and the X99 platform is fantastic. 

Keep in mind that X99 motherboards are more expensive though.
