4690-k or 5820k? better bang for the buck

[thehardwarehacker]

ok i know this is a bit of a rabbit hole, especially going into the holiday season, but i want to know what people on the forums think. im looking to build a new system by march of next year ( i started a main thread of this already: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2268265/advice-mobo-ram-build-updated.html) i was planning on basing it on the 4690K, but with intel looking like their going to release near the end of this year, into next year, and with my interest in playing some of the higher end games, am i better off leaping for the 5820k? my uses have changed a bit, in that ive started making game mods for skyrim, and im looking to play some games that look like they might be a bit more CPU intensive (star ruler 1 or 2, planetary annihilation). if your wondering, these are the parts i have selected thus far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JvDFmG

I would wait to see what other processors Intel releases before March. Only 3 of the 5000 series have come.

There is no real 5000 series cpu. The 5820k, 5930k and 5960x are haswell-e, not broadwell. It's the extreme line setup for professionals or people who don't mid spending $400 for little performance gains.

To answer the op's question: rather look at an I7 4790k and a z97 board. You won't see any difference between the I5 oc'ed ad any 'better' cpu, though.
So my choice would be the I5 4690k.

@DubbleClick: there eventually will be, there are broadwell-e 4000 processors as well as normal 4000 processors.

Unless intel changes their nomenclature, broadwell is going to be i3/5/7 5xy0(k), where x goes up to 7 and y up to 9, although not in all combinations, obviously. Broadwell-e will be i7 6820k/6930k/6960x. So far there's only been three "extreme" cpu's per architecture.

Anyway, after reading the title again, the i5 4690k is definitely your choice. The extreme cpu's generally feature a horrible price/performance (bang for your buck).

thank y'all for the reply's so far, i just haven't gotten around to getting back here. so ya think that the 4690k still has a better bang for the buck ratio than the 5820k, do you think that even if some of the games coming out are going to be a bit more demanding that the i5 will be a better deal?

For literally the same performance in games now. And most likely still in a few years. At least until games are out with full dx12 support.
