i'm just wondering when exactly will games require 4-6 cores
A lot of games somewhat require 4 cores in order to run smooth. In normal Windows conditions the hexacores only have the gained benefit of higher minimum frames while holding approximately the same average frame rate.
Now, if you talk about streaming, the video compression is done largely on the CPU. More overall power on the CPU = more power left to the game. The extra two cores can work on the stream while others work on the game and Windows needs.
I mean, the 6700K is no slouch by any means, the 5820K just happens to fit the description of your needs a tad bit better, especially when you factor in the budget. We're still talking about very close call here and the benefit comes with the added cost of the mobo so it's not a win-win situition, rather you get what you pay for.
I hope this clarifies
