should i buy intel core i7 4790k or 5820k for gaming and futureproofing

hatib · Aug 7, 2015

hey i wanted to know that i should buy 4790k or 5820k because 4790k is unlocked version of 4790 and metal gear solid 5 recomended proccessor is 4790 and the recomended specs dont last long
and i also i need a build guide for 4k ultra and gameworks 1440p ultra 8xmsaa and fxaa and gameworks and 1080p ultra 8xmsaa fxaa and gameworks

Get the i7 6700k.

Honestly, both of those CPUs will run most games exactly the same. The 2 extra cores on the 5820k won't make a difference in any game currently released at least. The newer 6700k is coming out very soon (reviews are already up), that's what I'd get if I was building a new gaming system.

6700k nah there is only 5% difference in performance between 6700k so why should i again buy quad core

Just FYI, I myself just ordered an entire Performance Rig-build's worth of components on Monday, virtually the whole enchilada's worth of parts. It was around $1750's worth of pieces and I don't just have it laying around, it's a serious and significant investment for me.

I went with the i7 4790K and built around it - for a very good and specific set of reasons. To upgrade to the 5820 it would be a $300 minimum increase ... for the more expensive processor, more expensive DDR4 , and more expensive motherboard. Now some might think, oh well you're a fool , should have spent that $300!!!

Well I have two questions to pose that show, in my humble opinion, the logical fallacies associated with the upgrade-

1) How much money constitutes "Oh you should just spend it!!! Upgrade!! It's only $XYZ more!!! " and for that matter, where exactly does it come from unless you're independently wealthy and/or able to spend whatever you want here [in which case, these questions would not even be posed, you'd already have just bought whatever you wanted at whatever price for whatever best available hardware you could get] ...

and 2) Where does it end? So $300 is okay to throw on and upgrade... is $450 okay too? How about $600? $750? $1000 more?

And do you go to Skylake then? Top of the line Extreme-editions? 6 and 8 core Intels?

Heck why not just build a workstation/server style build with dual 6-core Xeons, 32 GB RAM per CPU, and GTX 980i Titan SLIs... the sky is the limit!

I configured me a rig that is built on the i7 4790K and I am very proud of it, proud enough to talk about it and list it in my signature like the cool kids who do that sort of thing list theirs. IT is not the biggest ,baddest, fastest, or newest on the market, but it's darn good and particularly darned good enough, and sometimes that is exactly the right place to be.

but the question is it still future proof cause now a days recomended cpu is quad core like metal gear solid 5 its recomended cpu is 4790k which locked version 4790k

5820K for sure, there's no guarantee you can get to 5.0ghz with the other processor and with a decent overclock on the 5820K in the just 4.4ghz area you would need to overclock the other over 6.6ghz to make up the difference of the 2 additional cores. i7 5820K is a much better idea. With the extra two cores, the 5820k will perform better in CPU intensive games like Civ5/Total War games, and gives you extra PCI-E lanes, should you want to SLi or add in a M.2 SSD for example.

Furthermore, no amount of OC-ing will ever make up for the two less cores on the 4790K/6700K.

The guys who are promoting the 4790K/6700K, are all thinking short term.

If you want to buy a CPU that is great for now and will be good enough for the next year or two then buy a Core i5.

For future proofing you absolutely must allow for the possibility of games utilising more than a quad core cpu.
