OK so i am truly stuck between the two platforms... i will be overclocking them
i originally was planning on getting the i7 5930k but realized it didnt really offer me anything i needed except more pcie lanes which i didnt need.
also i will be getting top notch motherboards for which ever i go with.
X99 will be MSI GODLIKE GAMING ($550) with i7 5820k ($390) hoping to hit 4.5GHz min. under major water.
Z170 will be MSI XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM ($300) with i7 6700k ($410) hoping to hit 4.7GHz.
the system will run 2 MSI GTX 970's and my theme is red. acrylic watercooling.
so i know that the average for the 5820k is around 4.4GHz... so really what would the difference be between 4.5GHz 5820k and a 4.7GHz i7 6700k.
This system is for gaming and looks only (epeen)
My initial reaction was to go premium route with X99 but questioning if its really worth it. the only price difference is $200 because of motherboard.
