I'm upgrading an i5-3570K and looking for a good replacement. I just bought a 1080GTX, and want something to pair with it that will last a while.
I generally upgrade every 3 years or so and usually buy the CPU and Motherboard at the same time. I'm not sure that i've ever upgraded separately. I'm looking to buy in the next 2 months I think.
The Choice seems to be between the 6800K and the 6700K, but the price difference is really pushing me to the 6700K. The 6800K is like $400 and the 6700K is only $290. I looked at the AT benchmark comparison and they looked fairly close in a lot of tests. My workload would be mostly gaming with some content creation (video conversion and editing).
I mostly play FPS (CS:GO, ARMA, etc).
I'm not interested in AMD. I left that bus a long time ago.
your thoughts are appreciated.
thanks!
