i7 4790k vs i7 5820k?

[m1234]

Hi guys
I am confused on on which CPU to buy i7 4790k or i7 5820k?
I only do gaming.
I want to know whether the i7 4790k last 5 years

The 4790k is faster in gaming but the 5820k takes a advantage in lanes so it can be good to have depending on how many gpu's you want and if you want to use m.2

My GPU is gtx 970 sli 2way

will the i7 4790k last 5 years?

Honestly, neither. Hyperthreading only affects a select few games and is miniscule. If I were you I would go with a i5 4690k, it will definitely last 5 years. Don't listen to the people that say games will be use more cores soon. They've been saying that for years. I have a friend with a i5 2500k and it can play all the newest games with ease, albeit with a good GPU to boot. So if I were you id save your money and invest into a better GPU down the road like a GTX 980.

EDIT: Didn't see that post just now where you mentioned the SLI 970's. With those two GPU's and a i5 4690k you'll be set for atleast 5-7 years.

my budget for the GPU is 720 dollars. so the gtx 970 sli is better than one gtx 980

i wont try talk you into down grading your cpu.. there is a clear advantage to a i7 in games.. will it take a benchmark to actually tell the difference most the time? yes but if you can afford it go for it

kinda like a r9 290 vs a gtx 970.. most of time it will take a benchmark to tell the difference

you where very fast to pick a best answer.. a i7 has more advantages.. like if you want to do live streaming
