I have been back and forth with research on forums here and other websites and still cannot come up with an answer for myself. Here is the break down.
I am a big PC gamer and I like to stream *mostly for fun but like anyone else, would not mind it going somewhere*. Currently I have a i5 3570k and a gtx 1080 (thx to my wife) to work with along with an Asrock Z75 Mobo which is starting to crap out on me (no need to ask about it as I was planning to upgrade anyway lol) I figured why not just upgrade my entire platform while I am at it. And for the life of me, I can not decide between the 5820k, 6700k, and 6800k. These are always the three processors that are given to me when I tell someone I am upgrading. Yes I know I probably could get away with an i5 6600k for gaming but no thank you lol. So I am coming to the experts here so i can get my money together and make the plunge. In you guys general opinion *money is not a problem here as I can afford any of them in the next month*. Which one will give me the most benefit for my gaming and streaming needs while future proofing me for the next couple of years? The reason the 5820k is an option is the price would allow for some extra room to buy something else if I wanted to. Full specs of my PC below and thx for answering.
