In September I've asked similar question and the options on the table were the 3930K and the 4770K. 4930K was not out yet.
At the time I've got the feeling the 2011 socket would make the price goes higher without any proportional gains. Being the 4770K the one with more value. It came about a 1000€ rig vs a 1500€ rig.
I postponed my buying so I'm asking this again, since there might be new information from usage.

4770K or 4930K or something else?

Cheers

Specifically for your usage I would say go for the 4930k. It has an extra two cores which equates to four extra threads as well as a larger cache and you will be able to feel it in the applications you are using because most of them are heavily threaded. and I don't think that it would necessarily be a 500 dollar difference. I only really see a 300 dollar difference in price. I just read an article that stated how the ivy-bridge E is worth it. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-4960x-ivy-bridge-e-benchmark,3557.html

Significantly cooler and more power-efficient as well as a modest performance improvement and increased overclock headroom.
