Ok, it's getting to the point where I have to say goodbye to the old toaster. I'm a little bit torn about picking the CPU for the new beast. I narrowed it down to two possible choices. Either an i7-5820k and pray to the silicon gods for a good overclock or go safe with the i7-4790k. In my eyes the 5820 is the clear winner, but I would like to hear a second opinion(s).

Thanks in advance.

Either should be fine. I don't overclock, so I would suggest getting the fastest you can afford. That being said, there is always something faster being released.

Aleksander, check out www.newegg.com Read the comments provided by current and previous purchasers of both chips. You can also do a side by side comparison of the chips on the site too. User feedback is critical before buying any piece of hardware especially for your computer.

Both are very good from what I have heard but make sure you know how to overclock, or get the intel insurance thing so if you overclock it and it breaks you can get a new one.
