Eh, they want me out of the house XP

Yeah, so I can't imagine having to bother you to make the trip. Everything alright on your end?

You're off on Wednesdays?

Quack Quack, how are you?

It really depends on what you're planning on doing, whether you're willing to pay the premium, do you need the integrated GPU, do you have PSU capacity to spare etc. etc.

And don't forget paying the extra for a 2011 mobo.

In theory, yet surprisingly, the 4930K will last you longer though at this point, I believe that the newer and slightly lower-clocked 5820K is cheaper. I believe that the higher clocked 5930K is cheaper than the 4930K too in some places due to market forces. Careful since both use a LGA 2011 v3 which is not compatible with older LGA 2011 CPUs

But again, since all these CPUs support Hyperthreading, unless you're planning on some incredible rendering or multitasking, the 4 extra logical cores probably won't help much, especially in gaming

Prices I found:
4770K: $400
4790K: $330 (This is a more stable overclocker if you're into that)
4930K: $570
5820K: $380
5930K: $560
