Best lga 2011-v3 cpu for gaming and a little editing

[Guest]

Its all the title, ive been looking at the i7-5930k and the i7-5820k are those good for mostly gaming and a little bit of video editing and photoshop, itll be paired with sli 980tis

The 5820k is a far better bang for buck

Purely speaking, it depends on the individual chip. You could get a decent 5820K and a bad 5930K and the overclocks vary. But again, with your main focus being gaming I'd just save some money all around and get the 6700K

Until Skylake's price drops a lot more, the cost of building a 5820k system is about the same as building a 6700k system.

So for just $40 more, you get 4 more threads, a more capable motherboard, and quad channel RAM

Closer to being $100 price delta rather than being a similar buy. I'd still suggest saving some money for what has been(described in like 4-5 threads now?) primarily a gaming tower. I wouldn't really advise putting money into X99 unless you have budget enough to take real advantage of the benefits both in task and components.

lol sure it's more like $100 when you conveniently choose a much more expensive cpu cooler for the 5820k and another pointless +$10 for the RAM

Good luck overclocking the already gimped 5820K appropriately with a 212 Evo. I wouldn't suggest using any less than a Cryorig H7. And even then, when you're nickle and diming it, you should probably consider a cheaper platform to get quality.

I'd pay $10 extra for G. Skill over crucial. Just sayin'. Also my prices are without rebates.

 

[CTurbo]

Again, the same can be said for overclocking the 6700k on a 212 Evo.


I stand by my argument that Skylake is overpriced at the moment as represents a poor overall value when compared to Intel's other offerings.

You can save around $70-100 on a 4790k build that performs 95% as well as the 6700k
