Hi all i am currently an X58 user with a XEON E5640 at 4.3ghz

I will be upgrading in the next few months to x99 if possible, however we have AMD launching their new ZEN CPU and we also have the arrival of Kaby Lake which looks to be worthless next to Skylake in terms of raw performance gains.

Anyway, i wanted to stick with the enthusiast platform, i stream, do video work and also video encoding.

Whichever i choose will be treated to a full custom water loop.


I hear the 5820K is a better overclocker vs the 6800K, does this mean the 5820K will end up being the faster CPU in the end?

If you can't wait for AMD I would defo go for X99 mate. The 5820k, 5930k and the 5960x I use are all superb chips. Personally I wouldn't wait for AMD and doubt they will be as good as the hype says, but time will tell.
