Consider getting the 5820k, still a 6 core like the 5930k, just with less pcie lanes than the 5930k, but more than the 4790k. The extra cores dont really help with gaming alone, can be beneficial for streaming with programs that use cpu. The 4790k is a good choice if u want to save money by not getting DDR4 and a 2011-3 motherboard, if about $60-80 isnt alot of savings, if u look at a 4790k, $150 board, and 8gb ram at $50, and the 5820k, a $180 board, and about $70-80 for ram, then the 5820k is a great choice. The 5820k and 5930k need aftermarket cooling as no stock cooler is supplied, if u were going to use stock cooling at first

If the price of the 5830 doesn't scare you please simply wait for the new intel cpu's to be announced. It should be worth the wait to get newer tech.
