I'm building a PC for my music production, money is not a huge object, but within reason. I am trying to decide between a 4 core 4790K, or something with 6-8 cores like a 4930K, would having more cores be useful for Cubase? Or should I just try to put more into my ram and get the new DDR4 corsair ram along with a fast Samsung SSD. Anybody with personal experience would be greatly appreciated thank you. Please don't start on the whole just go with an i5 stuff I'ma just sit with an I7.

For multi core CPU's to be effective, the software has to be written to make full use of the multi core / multi thread resources. I don't know about Cubase but plenty of RAM and a SSD would help if your dealing with large files. Sufficient RAM would reduce the need for caching to your drive when dealing with large amounts of data. Having an SSD will boost you data access when you to access the drive. The newer CPUs with 6-8 core may be the only ones that support DDR4 at this point. Plus there is the CPU can access your RAM with more data lanes.
