New build

Been having some problem with my PC right now so thinking which way to go ,I think I need to move up a step to the next level .

But what I was thinking is it worth me going X79 Intel 4930K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge-E) 6 core 12 threads or just go for Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) chips set ,The reason I would be more for the (Ivybridge-E) would be for the higher core and more threads all so the other benefits like x16 on all lines , My only problem with (Ivybridge-E) is I don't really understand what RAM that would take is it still Dual or Quad Channel Memory Kit ? And another reason why I was thinking about (Ivybridge-E) Because I am waiting on BF4 which going to be using 6 cores as well as other cores on any other CPU but more is better right ?

All help would be welcome thanks

Are you gaming?

Using for CAD work?

Editing Videos Photos (heavily)

Using browsing the Web?

Any Intensive programs?

Gaming mostly but will be encoding some times and maybe some 3D

Stick with the 4770k, this is still a excellent cpu, if you did encoding and 3D all the time then the extra cores would be worth it, least with the 4770k your budget can go towards a nice GPU and a larger SSD.

There seems to be some confusion on my current system spec ie the reason why I was asking about this upgrades ,

At this time I am using i7 2600k 8gb of ddr3 1600hz xms3 corsair ,Sound Asus card STX ,mobo is GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 but having a lot hardware problems like crashing I am talking about that on another thread in this forum http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=24945880#post24945880

This is reason why I need to change my system its is not some thing that I am wanting to do right now but would like to get some thing that is going to last ,And do all the things that I want for the next year or so ,

i7 2600k 8gb of ddr3 1600hz xms3 corsair ,Sound Asus card STX ,mobo is GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3

I do not have 4770k ,
