i7 4790k vs i7 5820k

[fe_blaze]

i'm wanting to upgrade my cpu and was wondering if i'd be better off with the 4790k or the 5820k i'll need ram even if i go with the 4790k.

4790k is a LGA 1150 cpu wihle 5820k is socket 2011, both require different motherboards. whats your current cpu+motherboard?

don't have one atm, lighting ran in on my pc by my Ethernet cable

Depends on your budget and what u use the PC for I guess. 5820k would cost much more, imo would be more cost effective to get a z170 skylake if just for gaming.

We need to know what you want to use the system for, what your budget is, what other parts you already have, and where you are buying.

For gaming 6700K/4790K depending on budget and parts you have (even i5 or locked parts might be right)
For rendering, 3D models, VM, and POWER (as opposed to speed) 5820K.

Is editing /3d rendering a 'hobby' or a business. That's another way of asking 'how much money is time worth? $700 is not enough for a great budget system, some compromises will need to be made.

This is about the best I can do for that budget.

If the 700 is for CPU. motherboard and RAM only, then this works well for gaming, can be significantly overclocked, and is a rendering beast.

In all cases, a topflow cooler is selected to help cool the motherboard VRMs when overclocking. You may already have a good cooler.
