If only gaming, a 6600k should do more than enough. In fact, I would consider a 6700k an overkill for gaming since most current games don't even make use of the 4 extra threads to boost performance. Needless to say, the 6800k and 5820k are intended for more than just gaming.
Seeing how the TXP is stepping toes with CPU bottleneck / limit even for the highest end BW-E. I think is wise to go for something better if you plan to upgrade high end GFX in future (Volta+). DX12 is definitely going to utilised more thread.
which reviewer said it's being bottlenecked by the CPU ?
For people interested my exchange from i5 4690 to i7 4790k remove 66%-75% of fps drops and stuttering with witcher 3 at 4k with no hairwork no AA with titan x pascal. Overclocked titan core +205 +700 mem run witcher 3 to 60+fps near all the time, except when a lot of effect happen or several ennemies in a fight or big raining with a lot of people, otherwise 60+ can use vsync, and no tearing. Thanks guys for advice about buying a i7 cpu
Very good idle temp on the hyperX.
The shop I got it from had the last piece pulled out from a drawer, seems like a really good chip to me! 4.5Ghz at 1.13V , but strangely temperature quite high at stress test. (gaming at 55C max)
Ok ba haha. Told ya previously liao.. this chip is gold. Low vcore can run 4.x oc effortlessly and with stability ^^
5820k everywhere no stock, end up i hoot from amazon
its ard 400USD plus tax
