I'm having a custom PC built, and have to decide between the 6800k and intel 6850k,

I plan to pair one of them with the new 1080 GTX, as I am finally trying to get into 4K gaming and VR.

I know what the difference is on paper, I just do not know if those differences actually warrant the price tag of the 6850k considering I only plan to use the computer for 4k gaming and vr.

No, they don't. The extra PCIe lanes are close to irrelevant unless you're trying to run quad SLI or a TON of PCIe cards (e.g. using it as a file server) - and you can't run quad SLI with a 1080. PCIe 8x vs 16x shows virtually zero performance penalty.
