NEED TO KNOW SOON: i7 2600k vs i7 3820 for gaming

[roymand]

Please remember, I dont only game... I want to stream/record my gameplay and I want to do video editing and AfterEffects animations, but gaming is of large importance...

The i7 3820 is cheaper, and I probably will be getting a second GPU (another HD 7950)

The I7-3820 is going to be the better CPU as long as you have the motherboard that supports it.

Ok, ill save money, but the price is ridiculously low, so im not sure if i trust the seller... (the price is 118 euro and the 2600k is 175 euro)

You do realize these CPUs require different motherboard sockets, yes?
