I'm looking to build a gaming + video content production rig.
As I see it the CPU/MoBo type choice seems to be down to;
4790K on LGA1150 with Z97 Chipset, or
4930K on LGA2011 with X79 Chipset
Which is better? I'm thinking about performance of course, but also future proofing and expandability.
Thx.

The 4930k is better...but if your just gaming and dont plan on multi card no reason to go that far.The only real reason i can say to go with the 4790k is price though, a 2011 motherboard is expensive.
