please dont comment if you dont know anything about assembling computers

You guys are suggesting a cpu thats based off the old chipset z97 which isnt compatible with ddr4 until skylake is released and even then your mobo will be obselete as x99 will be mainstream.
Sman, you're basically better off getting the 5820k simply because it has better future proofing as regards to x99, 6 cores, larger l3 cache, more pci-e lanes, and the aforementioned ddr4 support. Not to mention, they're both based off the same haswell architecture so running at the same clock speed will yield the same performance although the 4970k has better overclocking which i doubt you will take advantage since the 5820k is already running at 4.2+ ghz.

yeah ray that's exactly why i chose it, future games are most likely going to run best with it or exclusively with it so its better to use it. Thank you for your feedback

I believe is what me and Recon were getting at. Why would you need 6 cores? 4 cores are fine.

Damn where is Suika when you need him.

Why 6 cores instead of 4? Cuz 6 is more then 4 which is better?

Max turbo boost: 3.7 ghz

Stable overclock: 4.4 ghz

pls research b4 posting

Have you bothered clicking the link? The research is right there.

He posted a pic as his research. Seriously don't post unless you know your shit it's annoying.

I guess you have no idea what overclocking and turbo boost is.
stop trying to give advice when you dont even know what you're talking about

I was just stating my thought in terms of economy. If you're looking for futureproof, why not wait for Skylake, due to be launched this August. 5820 is a good choice, if you can't wait and are willing to spend some more. As for games, you might not need much.
