Gaming cpu

[Donzie]

Guys building my first gaming pc and was wondering what would be better for it.
Proformance over price at this moment in time.
i7 6700k 4.0ghz or i7 5930k 3.5ghz.
Will be mainly for AAA titles such as battlefront and fallout 4 for example.

Thanks very much for anyone's help.

OP is also building his first rig, so he's a big of a greenhorn by thinking of the 5930k in the first place.

He'd be better off getting a 4790k and using the saved money towards more GPU grunt imo.

I don't need any GPU I have 3 Titan X at my disposal. Why I want to build my own I have upgraded all my old pc just part by part but I want to move up from 1150 low end to a better cpu and motherboard. The whole part of the debate of the 5930k is the extra 40 lanes over the 16 of skylakes for gaming. As I would buy the Asus x99-we to take advantage of the lanes to run at 16 each.

Yeah budget is around £1000 left for it. With the cards I bought two and got one as gift, pretty much a £3500-£4000 build as I got lucky with some gambling and decided to upgrade my pc.
As for parts I already have is ddr4 ram, 1200w psu, gpu and my water cooling components. Really just the mobo and cpu I need as I'm taking my Samsung 1tb ssd out my old computer.
And thanks again guys for info and help.
