I'm curious about how often Tom's Hardware updates their article titled "Best Gaming CPU for the Money" .
The last one was June and we are in August. Also, the one on Graphics Cards. I'm interested in building a new desktop computer as mine is almost 6 years old and Windows 10 is out and I'd like to install my free upgrade on a new system and look forward to Tom's Hardware's info in these articles.

Wait a little bit more... They are still testing the new I7 6700K and I5 6600K for gaming and other benchmarks...

For now what I can say to you that the best cpu for gaming are:
I7 4790K
I5 4690K
I5 4460

For SLI configuration (specialy for 980ti)
I7 5930K

May I ask why the 5930k is better for 980ti SLI than say the 4790k?

Because the x99 platform works better with sli setup...
