Hello,

The last few months I have been doing quite some research and trying to decide what kind of parts I want for my new gaming/editing pc. Find it hard to decide on a few parts and would like to have some more information to be able to choose.

So a i7 is kind of necessary since all the editing and recording I do, and it looked like the i7 6700k could not get a much higher OC then the i7 5820k and has some problems with overheating?
So I thought the i7 5820k is the best option, but then I saw the 6800k (broadwell-e) is due in a few months and wondering if it will be a worthy upgrade over the i7 5820k or very minor so it is better not to wait?

So what would be the differences between the haswell-e and broadwell-e? Like what we can expect? And I heard the i7 5820k is a very good card to OC (probably will use a NH-D15) so the broadwell-e might be worse?

Thanks for all the help and have a happy new year!

Broadwell-E is newer and uses less power but I would just buy a 5820K. Broadwell proccessors are optimized for low power consumption and have turned out weaker than their Haswell predecessors.

Ok so the difference is mostly in power and a few other minor things. So not really in the clock speed and overall performance. Good to know.
Also the 5820k is a very good OC'er. Seems like the best CPU around 400 bucks?!

@NubUser: Well the integrated graphics do do not matter since I buy a GTX 980 ti for this setup. As for the TDP there will be a very minor increase at best I reckon or will it make a big difference for over clocking?

@ComputerSecurityGuy: Yes 10 core is kind of over the top for me. And a lower clock speed is not great for gaming. Often why people suggest the 6700k over the 5820k. But they both over clock till about the same right? Around 4.4 till 4.6Ghz. Then the 6 core for a similar price is the obvious choice for me.

If I may throw in my two cents, if I weren't in a great hurry, I'd wait and see what the new Broadwell-E CPUs have to offer.
This is still to be confirmed, of course, but the midrange processor (Core i7-6850K) may offer 3.6 GHz base clock/ 3.8 turbo with 6 cores/12 threads for $450.00.
I've always favored a mix of gaming and all-around performance in a CPU, and something that'll last a good 3-5 years, and this may be my next processor.

@hayroe:
I thought of waiting for Broadwell-E since they first said it would be out Q1 of 2016 but now it seems later in Q2 2016 and I do not want to wait for 6 more months.
Also I found this link and it seems the upgrade is minor for the same price range CPU. Same turbo speed, cache etc. Only if you pay 150 dollars more you get 0.2ghz more. I think it is all about the Iris APU and the better TDP.

Here the source says 550 instead of 450 which makes it a lot less attractive, and that seems right since they would not price 2 different CPU's 50 dollars from each other with the same release date and the same chip set.

Yes I am looking for that kind of a CPU as well, since I do a lot more then just gaming. We will see how quick the technology goes. Though probably you would have to update in a year or 2-3 to keep playing the newest games and using the newest programs. (I would suggest waiting for Skylake-E which will be a bigger difference plus a new Motherboard chip set)

But thanks for your two cents!
