Which one would you choose for gaming? It's a bit hard for me to decide because I'm having trouble finding reviews comparing these two CPUs. The important thing for me is that I need good performance not only in graphically intensive AAA games like GTA 5, but also in heavily modded simulation games with lots of agents, like Cities Skylines, which I play a lot. And I would also like the AI to be as fast as possible in heavily modded Civilization games, so that I have to wait as little as possible after clicking "end turn".
I plan to keep it some 5 years or so, so my main concern is: would the 6-core Haswell-E be more future-proof for my needs?
