5820k or 5930k

Thanks every one for the awesome responses to this post. I'm still really undecided I honestly may just end up flipping a coin...

Get a 5820k. It's cheaper, and you can't go wrong. I love mine and it OCs like a beast (4.7ghz at 1.32v). You save money and all of that too.

Maybe when I get mine ill ask for OC tips from you then! Is that on air cooling?

It's using a 140xl and temps reach the low 90s when the FPU is stressed and high 70s when it isn't (so temps are okay). Considering it's the water cooling equivalent of an NH-D15 I'd say temps are okay. I've not ran it that high since last winter though (which are cold here) so I'd imagine temps may be within that range so it'd be fine. I got REALLY lucky with the silicon lottery as well. 1.3v/4.5ghz is what most can expect. I'd be happy to help though.
