I'm in the market to upgrade my CPU from a shitty FX-8350 to either of these processors.
What I will do with the system:
Gaming mostly, but I will also encode quite a bit due to the use of a NAS and it's lacking ability to transcode due to ARM based processors. I also had the Sabertooth X99 motherboard in mind if I go for the Haswell-E, or the Sabertooth Z170 for the 6700K, do you think these motherboards are good compared to the more expensive Maximus Extreme motherboards?
And finally, in terms of upgradability and futureproofing.
I was hoping this system would last me for atleast 2 years, and if I had to upgrade that it would only be the CPU, is it better to go with the 1151 socket or 2011-3?
