thanks guys... thats what I was leaning towards

I would have loved a i7 6700k, but the price scales too high when you start adding the mb and memory
 
while I would prefer the 6 cores over the 4 cores, I do intend to run at stock speed (havent got the time to mess about overclocking), so the clock speed of 3.3 over 4 is a big factor I feel.

also the £240+ price difference for the 5820k + MB + memory, over the 4790k is a biggy
 
been thinking about it some more, I might go with the 5820, just working out the spec at the minute... can anyone recommend a motherboard and ram (32gb) to go with it?

budget for cpu, mb and ram is around the £650 mark
