My cpu is:
Intel i7-5820K Extreme Hex Core CPU Processor (3.30GHz, 15MB Cache, 140W, Socket 2011-V3, 28 Lanes PCI Express Generation 3)

And I want to buy the:
Asus Maximus VI Hero C2 Motherboard (Socket 1150, Intel Z87, DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, 2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16, Intel I217V 1x Gigabit LAN Controller)

How do I know if theyre compatible because my cpu won't fit in the motherboard I currently have.
 
Yes the 4790k is a very good cpu for gaming and general high performance use but since the 5820k is a 6 core its not a direct comparison.

IF you are doing gaming, 4790k > 5820k
Video editing / other non-gaming but intensive work then 5820k>4790k




With the 4790k, get a good Z97 board.
