6700k vs 5820k

[theaterix]

Currently looking at the overall bang for buck, and if someone could put me together a CPU motherboard and Ram.
How does Ram speeds affect Skylake and Haswell-E???
Also, with the 5820k, what motherboards are good for the money?


POINT TO MAKE: THE CPU'S ARE THE SAME COST FOR ME, DON'T BASE DECISIONS OFF PRICES OF CPU.

Now thats out of the way, what are a few good boards and nice/good ram for both Chipsets?

Looking at the Gigabyte Sniper Z170 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...cket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-537-gi.html) board for the 6700k and these for X99:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...cket-2011-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-299-ms.html

I am really stuck on which one to go for, ill mainly be gaming, but may end up streaming the future.

Well gaming will be great on both. A touch better on skylake, but 5820k will be better for video encoding etc.

So just decide if you want pure gaming or the little boost in encoding.

There has been lots of drama around the comparison this week on here but I think either option is gonna give you an undeniably powerful pc.

Yeah, i can defiantly agree, and both will be a big upgrade over my current 8320?
Do you think the 5820k is worth the extra motherboard money in terms of pure power and 'future-proofing' as people love to say??

5820k, especially when DX10 is the norm, should last you a long time. the z170 platform is rather appealing also, but there isn't much justification for it over a 6 core x99 system.

I keep mulling the possibilities myself incase I can't last 'till the Zen arrives.

Suppose it is going to be worth the extra money, shame MSI wont release the bloody Sniper board on X99!!!

On the 6700k, you're sacrificing 2 cores for a very small IPC gain. If you're okay with that, then you want to go for Skylake. However, you almost definitely do not want to do that right now, because Skylake prices are heavily inflated. Either wait for them to settle, or go X99.

Like i said, prices dont matter, ignore them.

Big fan of the MSI boards myself. Quite like the gaming series as red/black is my thing. I really like they layout of the z170 gaming 5 or 7 IO shield and 2 m.2 ports between the PCI slots. I really hope to hell they bring boards of this quality to the Zen platform or I'll be very disappointed.

They are really really clean. Love the look of them, Just wish they werent all in red and white
Thinking of going 5820k and the MSI Krait at the moment.
Any other motherboard recommendations?

5820k is a video rendering/editing beast, the 6700k is a gaming beast, simples! btw guys just so you know this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to there opinion so dont go getting ur knickers in a twist cos i aint bigging up your x99/5820k

There you are 'super Louis' missed you mate LOL.

Now thats out of the way, lets get down to these replies to all you lads!

Looking online at various benchmarks, the 5820k does beat out the 6700k at various games, albeit by .3 fps haha and that is margin of error at best.
The 5820k sounds like it is for the future, which is really what i want as i wont be doing large overhauls like i am this year for maybe 4 years as i finish my GCSE's and then start an apprenticeship in September so wont really have stupid amounts of money to throw on pc's (I say this now hehe).
Heres my current spec:

AMD 8320 (running stock clocks as i had it at 4.4 but windows kept crashing, put it back, still crashes lmao)
MSI 990FXA-GD65
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
Sapphire Reference R9 290
Corsair CX750M (fit the bill at the time, defiantly gonna upgrade to something more reliable)
Xigmatek Alfar Windowed case (defiantly needing a new case)
May aswell include the monitor - LG 29UD65 (nicest and best stand of them all)

What do yous think should be included in the overhaul, and could yous spec me some recommended upgrades up.
Looking to spend about 900 ish overall.
Factor this in. The 5820k I am getting is £126, dont ask how, family member, board of directors at Intel.
So theres like 770 left for the rest ISH.
I would like a 144hz monitor aswell if possible for CS:GO

a 6 threaded i7 6700k would be nice

Anyone else want to cry at him commenting everywhere?

i dont understand why im being so annoying to u aetrix? i really am starting to think you really just dont have a clue.

Just going to block you so i dont have to see you on here writing your opinions on things acting like you know anything other than what you read from bad sources on the internet. CNET.

 

[theaterix]

He's gotta be having a laugh by now. Amazing how someone can be so annoying on such a subject.

True that mate.

As a question to you all about the CPU, I will probably be looking more towards CF R9 290, now or saving and going for the new cards when they are released next year.
With the new introduction of DDR4, and with HBM coming along very fast with the high bandwidth and stack-ability increasing rapidly, surely it will be a few years before we see anyone even using this?
I am very interested to see what 2016 holds for us, in terms of will the new generation of GPU's on the new nodes make a huge performance jump and whether the consumer lineup will FINALLY get a massive performance increase, from both AMD and Intel.

Overall, do yous think the 5820k is worth it, all things considered, after all its going to be £120 + motherboard + ram so its not too bad, and should be a big increase over the 8320, no?
