I am looking for a "gaming" CPU but I am not sure if I get a"rendering" grade CPU for editing because I am not sure if I will be doing that stuff but I do want to make mods for Space engineers, Kerbal space program Skyrim? Fallout 4? stuff like that. Which Would suit me? i7-6700k or i7-5820k? I want a perfect balance that will not hinder performance on either end.

This is a list I made and I am not good with naming things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6700k https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Agent_Blackwing/saved/KnHGXL

5820k https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Agent_Blackwing/saved/bdXkLk


Or do I need to get something like the 4790k? 4770k?

I want the best performance with the ability to have high FPS and Faster load times and fast rendering.

You can change the lists if there is any "bad" combinations but on all lists I want decently fast RAM (DDR4?) but Keep the storage and peripherals so just what concerns the CPU
 
Solution
The is no cpu better for gaming than the i7 6700k. The 6 or 8 core i7s would be a little better in editing, but it probably won't justify the cost over the i7 6700k.

Will the i7 6700k work for the stuff I mentioned?
