Hello PC Enthusiasts!

OK so basically i built two PC's on pcpartpicker.com, and i can't decide what i should go with. I have a strict budget of 1600 USD. I plan on doing high end gaming / gaming editing / streaming. These are the parts that i chose for the two builds. let me know which build you like build A or build B and why. Any input will be greatly appreciated and i thank you in advanced for reading my post and sharing your input. Your fellow PC enthusiast. MyCampGround

I know, there are massive supply issues, which is why the prices are so stupid.

If we assume the builds are similarly priced, here's my suggestion for the pros/cons:

Six cores of the 5820K are better for video editing and rendering, may also help streaming/recording in heavily threaded games. We are seeing games that eat up all four cores, so having additional cores will help.
At stock the clocks of the 5820K are lower, so if you're aiming for high frame rate (like 120/144hz) gaming then there might be certain situations where a 6700K can push out a few extra FPS.
You can OC the 5820K almost as high as the 6700K, but it will use a lot more power. You've got yourself a very high end PSU and excellent cooler, so it should cope...

Build A for sure.

The 6700K you have in Build B should be priced under $400, but there are massive shortages at the moment. The fact that you have to pay almost $700 for a quad core Intel CPU is absurd.

The 5820K is not quite as fast in single threaded workloads, but it has 6 cores which will help with streaming and any post-production (editing/rendering) stuff you do.

Better build hands down.

All-in-all Build A is still better for your needs IMHO, even if their priced the same.
