So Holy **** 10 cores??? but cheaper than the 58's is this really going to be worth getting. I know it's an amazing first time 10 cores, but the price confuses me. I just finished my first build like 2 weeks ago for my video editing build and then this comes out. Should I try to do a new build with this 6800k and a gtx 1070?? What do you guys think?

I built it for 1080 Hi def video editing but might move into 4k video editing. I haven't tested my build yet, but heard it will be good enough.

No, not at all.
While you shouldnt have built with a 4790k (should have used a 6700k), it is still a great processor.
Unless you are doing some heavy rendering or professional level work you will not see a difference. And if you were doing that work, you wouldnt have to ask if you should.

Also, the 6800k is the standard 6/12 cores, only the 6590x pushes 10/20

I agree with Gam3ro1 about the cpu thing but i would upgrade your GPU. The 1070 is a very fast card. It is on par and sometimes surpasses the titan x. Although if your not doing heavy gaming I would stick with the gpu you currently have.

GAm3rol sounds about right especially because the price of the 6800k is cheaper but I really thought even the 6800k was 10 cores, but the price didn't reflect that.

I guess you could call the work I do professional, I'm not working on million dollar films, but I do color grade, davinci resolve, adobe premiere and so on. It maybe considered heavy rendering. I didn't go up to the 6 cores at the time of build because I was buying other equipment and money was getting short.

And no Ando no gaming at all. Strictly video editing. I'm wondering will the gtx 1070 fit my current build. I don't know the length of the card yet. I'm only missing graphics card

The 6700K looks like a better gaming CPU if you were just buying something new today. More than four cores is cool, but doesn't do a lot for gaming especially when you can usually overclock Haswell and Skylake to 4.4Ghz without crazy cooling. Or needing to spend several hundred dollars more to also get a 2001v3 motherboard and >2133Mhz DDR4. I've got a Core i5 4690K set to run at 4Ghz with all four cores active going to 4.4Ghz with a single core and the chips that just came out look great, but I'm waiting for Kaby Lake to upgrade my CPU. Since you just got the faster i7 it would make even less sense for you.

I'd stick with your current CPU and go with a Geforce 1080 partner card as a better use of your money. I've got a 970 and am thinking of doing that. Without pricing it all out I'd guess you could do 1070 SLI for the money you'd spend to switch to the 2011v3 platform.

Depending on your monitor picking up a nice 1440p or 4K one with G-Sync or Freesync might be a better way to spend money on improving your gaming experience.
