So I'm going to be strictly video editing in premiere pro and I was thinking of the i7 6700k or the i7 5820k. I'd be using 64GB DDR4 RAM and GTX 960 for the CUDA cores aswell.

Thanks.

Eh at stock speeds they are nearly equal even though the 5820k has more cores. It because its a lower clock speed. Overall though you overclock the 5820k and have higher results. also later on put a Xeon 18core in if you want and have the money.

Don't forget that CUDA / GPU support is for preview only in Adobe and has no effect on final render times since the CPU does all the work.
