I'm building a new rig, but i'm torn between the 5820 or 4790
Adding up all parts (mobo cpu ram) there is only a $160 price difference between them.
I'm wondering will the 5820 be better for the long haul then a 4790? This is for mostly gaming and some streaming, along with the fact wife is shutting down my yearly upgrades to every few years now.

Main specs are
5820/4790k
msi x99s mobo/asus maximus hero vii mobo
h105 cpu cooler
sli 970s
16 gig of ddr4 ram/ or ddr3 16 gig
and i'm using my old psu a corsair 850 modular
and 2 ssds 1 hdd
Would that be enough power to run everything or would i have to upgrade my psu to?
Any help would be welcome :)

Gaming and streaming no design or video editing?

Go for 4790k, wouldn't wasted ur money

5820k is for workstation mostly, and can used for gaming also. So basically its for multi task.

Also if you got for x99s Route should go get 5830k rather than 5820k. Since 5830k outperform the best CPU 5960x, and also had 40 lanes, rather than 5820k that only had 28lanes only.

4 faster cores are better for gaming. So, four just gaming you want to get i7 4790k for sli/cf and i5 4690k for ANY single gpu. The cost of i7 5820k, ddr4, and x99 motherboard are not worth it unless you have a very specific purpose for that rig. There no real in game benefit for choosing ddr4 over ddr3. I would only recommend x99 for three/four way sli/cf with the 5930k being the entry level processor for that crazy set up.

The longer it lasts the better. I game on dual asus 144 hrtz screens and do a fair amount if streaming. Wife is cutting into my yearly upgrade and making it every few years now. So I would like to get the most for my money. That's why I'm wondering if the 5820 would be better for a longer time

you still didn't answer my question: what resolution? i'll assume 1080p. if so, do you plan on upgrading the displays any time within the life of this build? if not, you wouldn't need the 5820. unless you'll actually be using the benefits of the higher end system (the extra PCIe slots allow for more GPU support, and the extra cores/L3 for heavy streaming or video encoding), then you aren't really gaining any benefit. you might be more well suited when games start to actually utilize more cores consistently, having more cores and not just hyperthreading for them to scale to, but as far as per core performance, both are haswell and would have roughly the same effective life.

of course, there's no such thing as being too well prepared, but there is a such thing as unnecessarily spending money :)

Sadly microcenter does not carry G.Skill ram so i'm forced to pick between corsair or crucial instead :(
