I am a gamer who wants to start streaming and do not know everything about computers. I heard that the i7 4790k was a great processor for streaming, so i created a build with it. I then heard about the new i7 5820K and thought that its newer and has 6 cores w/ hyper threading so it must be better! However, because I am not smart with computers i thought of coming here and asking the community. I already have an EVGA GTX 770 4GB and a 1TB SanDisk SSD so I do not need to worry about storage or graphics. Also if you have any suggestions on what else I should add or change they would be much appreciated! These are my two builds:

i7 5820k: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/D2kMHx

Get this power supply unit instead http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUV01EQ/?tag=pcpapi-20 - its more reliable and has better quality.
As for the CPU both would make an insanely fast rig but since you said you arent too tech savvy, im assuming you wont be overclocking and there is no need for the K version, this intel processor would be amazing as well without having to OC : http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-BX80646I74790/dp/B00J56YSLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1438411097&sr=1-1&keywords=i7+4790

Plus, there is no real difference between both processors you already listed in terms of what you'll be doing. Unless you were an advanced video editor or do some other complex tasks besides gaming, it wouldnt matter too...

I don't plan on OC'ing only because I do not know how and do not feel safe doing it

Yes, in the future I want to run SLI

I was planning on going with the Fractal Design R5 w/ Window but my friend recommended that case
