Title says it all. I am building a rig for Java, C++, C#, HTML, PHP, and SQL development. I also do some light gaming (MC w/ shaders, TF2, CSGO, etc.).
I have these two rigs on PCPartpicker:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/z8Jf3C
and
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/trGPjX
Here is where I'm not sure. The 5820K build has 6 cores. I will do some overclocking, perhaps to 4.4 GHz. Would the two extra cores benefit me as a software developer (the 4790K can easily hit higher clock speeds with two less cores)? Will this extra money be well justified?
With 28 PCI lanes over 16, I can more comfortably fit in an NVMe PCIe 4x SSD. I'm not sure I will see noticeable improvements in speed by going with an NVMe M.2 SSD. I can easily get a 500GB SATA SSD for less money. Also, I can get a 970 over a 950 by going with the 4790K, but I don't play any games that require a 970 yet.
So, what should I go with?
P.S I have all my peripherals, and I have mass storage drives already.
