My question is will Intels i7-4820k overclocked at 4.5Ghz allow the GTX 780Ti to run at 100% performance. Is there any bottleneck their either way?

Is it worth the additional $250 (money certainly being a factor) for the 6-core i7-4930k??

Both CPU's would be overclocked to 4.5 ghz on the Sabertooth X79 w/ 16Gb quad-channel memory.
 
anything past a 4670k and you wont see any appreciably fps gain for any game made. if you want some extra insurance, just get a 4770k. a 4820k@4.5 vs a 4770k@4.5 is going to take synthetics to show a difference and it will be minimal. the huge difference is that you have to shell out for a pricy 2011 socket for the 4820k. if this is purely for gaming, there is no reason to go past a 4770k and its 1150 socket. you would get more fps in games by getting a 780ti model that allows for extreme overclocking like the evga classified 780ti kingpin.
