6800k vs 6700 vs 5820k

Solution
I have a core i3 (dual core with hyperthreading) paired with a GTX 950 and I run BF4 smoothly

There is no way you could need a 6 core processor for those games which shouldn't be demanding

And remember cores and specs in general doesn't mean anything for you unless you're an expert and pretty much know how they work

My answer is simple the 5820k and 6800k ARE NOT processors for gaming. They are CPUs for enthusiasts and are not worth it for your needs. You'll be forced to spend a lot on the CPU and a lot on the mobo

Get a core i5 you don't need more than 4 cores for gaming. Only some games can take advantage of it and the difference is very small

I was completely surprised with how good the new Broadwell-E is, but the price makes the performance makes sense. For those games, I'd say you don't need more than a 6600K. The gap between 6600K system and 6800K system is a staggering ~$275, which you can use for a better GPU.
