Ok, lets first start out that I am very pleased with my FX8350 and have been so for the last 2.5 years. However, it will not overclock worth a dam and I want to upgrade my home computer. With Zen a ways off, I am considering the 4790K, 6700K or 5820K.
Now, I have 16GB off DDR3 1600 memory that I could easily transfer into a 4790K build. Also, I am considering the MSI Z97 Gaming board since I replaced my board at work with a MSI 970 gaming board and it works great. (FX 8320) Now, I also could go with the 6700K or 5820K but, I would then need to purchase new memory.
What do you guys think. I have $500 to now spend but, I can add a bit more in if I go to the 5820k direction. Also, I will not go with anything less than the processors I listed because I also need to do virtualization at home and I would like to overclock at bit if I get a good chip.
I run SSD's for boot drives and I have an R9 290 so I do not want to upgrade those at this time. I am tempted to just do the 4790k but, I require at least 3 years of time out of it.
