hii guys thanks for reading this and i want to know your opinion has to is it worth upgrading from my Asus RAMPAGE x79 to a X99 Platform DDR4 + 5930k and new Asus Rampage motherboard.
i have been thinking about it but i don't know if it is worth. i have my thoughts on that but i wanted an opinion from others
.
my rig is pretty much MSI 980ti Lightning +3930k overclocked at 4.6ghz and Asus rampage Motherboard. and also i record a lot of video's and render video's that is another thing to take in consideration.
I wouldn't do it if your current setup meets your needs. Wait until Intel releases an 8-core $500-$600 chip (e.g. what 3930k, 4930k, 5930k are for 6-cores) and then upgrade to it. This would be a more impactful upgrade given your video editing uses.

yeah your right like i said i had my own opinion and it was the same as yours
like from what i saw my cpu can hold up to a 5930k with the oc i have im not that far..the best would be basicly to wait for the next intel i7 and see if there's a big gap also the 5930k have been out for quitte sometime.anyway thanks for the reply
Nah, you would feel crappy if you bought an i7-5930k. The depreciation amount on your i7-5820k won't be bad at all, and I'm sure you can get a decent return on it selling it secondhand to fund your "7930k 8-core" purchase. I highly doubt an i7-5820k will go below $200 in the next 2+ years.
Not worth it at this point. If you are looking to get more performance then put in another 980Ti Lightning.
For the Sandy-E and Ivy-E series it was tough to me to look beyond the 3930K/4930K so I got one of each. For Haswell-E there was a real benefit to the extreme series processors so I picked up a couple of them. If the next batch are 8 core for 7930K and 7960X then I will pick up the 7930K. Probably give the 3930K based system to my nephew.
