Hello,

As the title suggests whats the best CPU for the X99 chipset mobo that offers the best performance for your money?
The PC would be primarily used for editing graphics & videos, however I will do the occasionally gaming, ie Battlefield 1 when it's released later this year.

Thanks for your help,
Harry.

Well, you only have a few to choose from.

Haswell:
5820K - 6 cores, 28 PCIe lanes, $390
5930K - 6 cores, 40 PCIe lanes, $580
5960X - 8 cores, 40 PCIe lanes, $1000

Broadwell:
6800K - 6 cores, 28 PCIe lanes, $435
6850K - 6 cores, 40 PCIe lanes, $620
6900K - 8 cores, 40 PCIe lanes, $1090
6950X - 10 cores, 40 PCIe lanes, $1725


Early samples are showing that Broadwell chips have a small (maybe 5%) IPC advantage over Haswell, but don't overclock as well, so max OC vs max OC is a wash. Broadwell has slightly lower power usage at equal clocks, and so comes clocked slightly higher at stock within the same TDP.
