The upcoming Skylake flagship quadcore is going to be i7-6700k. It's slated on early tests to be about 4-8% more than a 4790k.
I have a 4-5 year old 2600k Sandy Bridge. I heard the 4790k is about 10% or so faster than 2600k.
So it seems the 2600k to 6700k will be a worthy upgrade, solely for gaming?
--Forgot to mention-
I've been upgrading portions of the machine at a time, so I'm on 3440x1440 screen, and SLI 980ti superclocks now, but still using this pci-e 2.0 and 2600k. The cards work fine, 2.0 isn't a problem.
I have the 2600k OC'd to 4.0 to 4.3ghz (depending on how many cores being used)
Cost isn't an issue as my Mom works for Intel and I get the chip 50% off, so that's nice, but new chip, mainboard, 16GB of ddr4, and watercool block for cpu is all gonna run about $750 total
