2600K 4.5Ghz to 4.5Ghz 5820K for about £300?

Mostly for gaming with a GTX 1080 @ 1440p. BF1 is a particularly CPU hungry game.

Not really interested in a 6700K, same amount of cores and threads with only iterative improvements leaves a bad taste. Plus I have always wanted to go to the enthusiast platform.

Thoughts?

(cost is from £250 5820K, £150 X99 board and £60 ram minus £160 ish for my CPU, board and ram)
 
I should have mentioned I have overclocked my monitor to 100Hz and can really feel it when it drops to the 80s.

Anyway I have taken a few screenies from an empty server on Empires edge where the FPS gets super low along with really low GPU usage. I normally run all low settings except mesh to get try and get >100fps at all times but have also shown what happens on Ultra settings (after restarting the game).

If anyone of the cool chaps running an overclocked 5820K and a strong GPU wants to go to the same spot on Empires Edge (between C and D, on the edge of the bridge) and check FPS and GPU usage that would be sweet.
 
I took the plunge after pricing up all the random hardware I could sell. Just waiting for the RAM to arrive now.
