Hello

I have a hard time decide which CPU is the better choice for me..

It looks like the 5930K is a better clocker, but 6800K have newer tech and looks to be faster at stock speeds..

I am using a Asus X99-A II board with 2x GTX770 SLI atm. and I do plan on overclocking the CPU.

The machine will be used for Photoshop, 3d rendering, game development and playing games..

I can get a 5930K used for a about the same as a new 6800K.

But what should I pick?

I would go with the 5930k.

I can't imagine being able to notice a difference for daily use, and the 5930k has 40 pcie lanes as opposed to the 6800k's 28.

If you consider used then get 5820K.
