Hi

Im about to by myself a new awsum computa. I'm wondering if it's worth getting the 5830k over the 5820k. I'm mostly high-poly modeling/sculpting, and i game a lot but that's besides the point. Any opinion would be gr8.

    5820 for sure, 5930 is only marginally (4%) faster but 1.5x as expensive. Also the 5820 is SUPER FAST so fast that you won't even stress all cores of your cpu most of the time (only when baking/doing cpu based rendering), anything beyond a 5820 is overkill/throwing your money away unless you do cpu based rendering all day (in which case invest in a dual-xeon system).

    I have the older 3820k and I have no complaints, will not upgrade until something at least twice or three times faster shows up in that price range. The bottleneck I have is not enough ram (only 16).
