Considering switching from AMD to Intel for Content Creation

[Archean_0]

I'm debating switching to Intel for my PC. I spend most of my time in 3ds max/maya and playing games and can't decide between the i7 4790k or the 5820k. I know that the X99 platform will cost more up front, but it has more cores (something content creation software likes).

Here is what i currently have

CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 16GB DDR3 1600
Storage: OCZ Solid 3 120GB
Additional Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD
Video Card: ASUS MATRIX-R9280X-P-3GD5
Case: Fractal Design Define R4
Power Supply: XFX TS Edition PRO650W
Optical Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro


Would I notice a significant difference in render times and general performance to justify the $500-$1000 cost of switching to Intel? (I can sell the AMD parts to recoup the cost)

How much life does the 1150 socket have?
How long will the 2011-v3 be supported? (hopefully more than 1 generation?)
How Will DDR4 ram with a very high CAS latency (12-17) compare to DDR3 ram with a lower CAS latency of ~9?

Thanks

edit-> just to note, theres only a $50 price difference on the CPUs (at the time of post)

Just an idea

I'd love too--we have dual Xeon workstations at work, but thats out of my budget (as well as a Quadro)
