i7-4820K, or i7-4930K?

Video Editor, Photographer, Gamer, 3 screens.

Would the 2 added cores have much of an effect? I didn't opt for the 4770k as it's more expensive than the 4820k, if somebody could explain why it's more expensive then I'd be much more likely to consider it, as the only thing I've been taught about CPU's is what a good core clock is so.. I don't know anything about them basically.

Help would be much appreciated

Thanks,

(P.S. Price is not a factor, however I don't want to buy something that's over priced simply due to supply and demand)

4770K is almost the LGA1150 version of the 4820K. 4820K is futile, in my opinion, simply cause it's an i7-4770K that's made on a LGA2011 socket.

If price isn't a factor, get a Xeon E5-2650 V2, and don't worry about clock speed, cause it has TurboBoost. It has 8 cores and 16 threads (I believe so), and a lot bigger cache than all i7.

The 4820K is basically just a 3770k with quad channel + x79 platform. While it's better than the 3770k, it doesn't do so well compared to the 4770k.

I would go for the 4930k or wait for Haswell-E for a i7 8 core. Only other option would be the Xeon E5's as okcnaline mentioned but those are pretty costly

Get the 4930K cuz it has 6 physical cores while the 4820k only has 4 physical cores.

Or the Xeon E5-2650 V2, cause it has 8 cores.
