Looking for the best CPU I could put in a LGA2011 Socket under $1,000 but when I say best I'm specifically speaking of usage in Maya 2016 no 3rd party renders besides Mental Ray. looking into the 5820k but I'm not sure if its the best option. It appears to have hexacore 15mb cache compared to the Quad 10 mb cache I currently have. Any advice is welcome Guys.

RAM:Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3/1866MHz
MOBO:GIGABYTE X79-UP4 ATX

Solution
The i7-5xxx series are socket 2011-3, not socket 2011. If you're looking for a new CPU without changing the motherboard (X99) and RAM (DDR4), you're limited to the i7-4930K and i7-4960X.
