I am about to build a new gaming pc and was wondering what would be a better long-term CPU: Core i7 4790k or Core i7 5820k. This rig will need to last four years. Thanks for the advice!

It also features single thread performance worse than three year-old Intel processors, and a 4790K is also eight-threaded. More importantly, the question was which of the two options presented was more suitable.

As an amd option for a long term gaming cpu, i would suggest the amd fx 8350. It is under £130 at the moment(on ebuyer) and has overclocking potential. U will need a good cooler for it tho
The fx 8350 is also 4ghz stock!
