Good price for the i7 6850k. Perfect for running minesweeper.

    Game is fine, just doesn't do the winning animation properly.

  Product page indicates you can redeem a copy of halo wars 2 from centrecom, might be worth adding to title

    "Halo Wars 2 & Two additional games via redemption". I suspect the 2 extra games are Minesweeper and Solitaire.

  Or you can just get ryzen 5 1600x for half the price and same performance..

    Unless your usage benefits from quad-channel memory and 40 PCIe lanes.

    Skylake-X is so close though..

      Not gonna be cheap for awhile, though.

  The 6th gen might appeal to people not running windows 10 eg win 7 for some nostalgic reason .

  This or the 5930k? Any opinions or recommendations? Primarily for video work. Will try to overclock with water.

    Seems like a pretty marginal difference http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1728?vs=1316
    So whatever you find the better deal on really.

      I've read the 5930 is easier to overclock past 4.4ghz as it's not as tightly packaged?

        I have heard similar things. I got my 5820k to 4.5ghz without any major issues, using closed loop liquid cooling.

  1600x is ~$350 and should easily match this with slight overclock. Otherwise 1700 is ~$430.

  If you want it for gaming, why aren't you buying a 7700? If you want it for video encoding, why aren't you buying a Ryzen? If you want it for both, Ryzen is still the sweet spot. You losing ~3% gaming performance but gain 10-15%+ encoding/work load performance… And it's ~$250+ cheaper.

  tl;Dr:
  Gaming: 7700k
  Workloads: Ryzen 7
  Mixed (Gaming + workloads): Ryzen 7
  This CPU has no place and should decrease in price further.
