getting a new computer for gaming and i am wondering if the 6 core processor is worth the extra $$ for gaming or if a quad core will be fine for the next couple years.

so my choice is i7-4790k proc with 8Gb of DDR3-2133

or i7-5820k proc with 6Gb of DDR4-2133

both would have the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 - 4GB - EVGA Superclocked graphics card

opinions, and reasons appreciated ty.

if only gaming quad core is plenty

yea just gaming, watching movies etc.

just wasnt sure if the DDR4 and the six core were worth the extra $$

just get a good SSD in your build

DDR3 is gonna be fine

yea i was goin with a 250 gig SSD for my OS and the only game im gonna be playing and everything else on a 1TB HDD

24 core or bust for games bro

honestly all these kids are scrubs

they don't game 100%

if you're a true gamer more cores = more fps = bigger dick = better gaming performance

^24 core 32 gb ddr4, razer headset, razer mouse, razer keyboard...and a bunch of dragon stickers for maximal performance

lol

first of all, why are you picking an i7 ?

i5-4690k and you're fine.

If you consider yourself a true enthusiast and are likely to go with a powerful SLI for 4k gaming, you might want to think about socket 2011-3... but even then, the 5820k is not worth its money and crippled by its lack of more PCI-E lanes. 5930k all the way then, because money doesn't matter either
