Hi guys I'm building a new Rig, need your help regarding which CPU to choose

CPU - i7 5820k or i7 6700 (non K)
(No OC)
RAM - Kingston DDR4 @2133 MHz
8x2 GB
GPU - GTX 1070 ( will be coming out on June 10th)
PSU - Corsair CP750w
Cabinet - Cooler Master Master
-Case 5
Motherboard - MSI x99A or MSI
Z170
Monitor - LG 21:9 (3440 X 1440)
SSH - Samsung 850EVO 500GB
HDD - Segate Barrcuda 2TB
7200RPM

Guys, mostly I'll be gaming on this Rig...but will also use it for Photoshop, After Effects, AutoCAD 2016, Solidworks, etc...

So I'm confused with 4 Cores (6700)
or 6 Cores (5820k)...also X99A motherboard is a lot expensive than Z170....I can use that money to invest in something Else....Help me...Thanks

If you're editing go for the i7 5820k as it has more cores which are better for editing rendering etc while keeping a good gaming performance. The i7 6700 will have a better upgrade path with the LGA 1151 chipset.
