5820K VS 6700K? Worth It ?

[reigns]

i am picking the 6700k and GIGABYTE UD5 TH, for video editing and ocasional gaming...is it good? or should i increase budget and switch to the 5820k + A MOTHERBOARD SIMILAR TO THE UD5H (DONT WANT TO COMPROMISE ON MOTHERBOARD) ?

5820K is little better for the stuff other than gaming. The 6700k is good aswell, little better performance than 5820k in games.

I'd pick up a 6700k and overclock it personally

For 5820k motherboard, Something like an ASUS X99-A would be good

i like the motherboards in the 6700k range and the prices are better suited, is that a good reason lol?

Well, both chipset are very good for the task. Go with either.

If you are video editing, then yes the X99 + 5820k is worth it.

im deciding to go with 6700k, solely because the motherboards are better for the price

Sure its a slightly newer platform, and the 6700k is still a very good CPU, but an inferior choice for video editing performance, where the extra cores would help.
