you really wanna compare a 3930 to a 4770? :X
For games though, 4770 OC won't be any slower than 3930 OC. 4770K is just $280 at MC with a solid board for $120 (MSI GD65). An X79 board is $200 + $500 for the 3930. You spend $690 and it can't beat 4770K OC in 99.999% of games. Sounds like a waste unless you absolutely use the CPU for video encoding, rendering, other tasks (or doing that while gaming).

Now you can have a situation like this:
4770K + Z87 + GTX780 3GB SLI = $1,700 USD
3930K + X79 + GTX770 4GB SLI = $1,600 USD
By the time games use 6-8 cores, we'll be rocking Skylake with another 10-15% increase in IPC over Haswell, or have the option of waiting it out another 12 months for HW-E. By that point a 14nm Skylake would mop the floor in CPU limited games over a 4930K IVB-E 22nm. LGA2011 and early LGA2011-3 will also be stuck without SATA Express.
In CPU limited games today, the lowly $200 i5-4670K OC is matching $500 i7 3930K OC:

Here is the punchline,
i5-4670K and i7-4770K OC + Z87 platform is not any slower in games than i7 3930/3960 OC + X79 platform but:
- uses 100W less at idle
- uses 260-275W less at load!

Why would a gamer do this to themselves when PCIe 3.0 8x/8x is not a bottleneck for modern GPUs by more than 2-3%?
And that's not all, the amount of cool features on new Z87 motherboards blows what comes stock on X79 at $200 level out of the water. A $120 MSI-GD65 board at MC is stacked with upgraded Sound Blaster audio, Integrated 600Ω Headphone amplifier, 8xSATA3 ports, 1 x Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN, mSATA slot. Good luck finding an X79 board for $200 with these features.

and
In CPU limited games, i7 4770K OC would clean up 3930K OC all day while using 260W less.
