Thing is I don't want to spend 1K on the CPU - this is the CPU on the machine I'm looking at

Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell 4.0GHz CPU FCLGA1150 8MB 4 cores/8 threads 22NM 84W

It retails for $360 - the next CPU up is the Intel® Core? i7-5930K which retails for $650 - would there be a significant increase in performance that makes a tangible difference between the 4790K and the 5930K?

This is the video card:

Vidia Geforce GTX770 4GB GDDR5,EVGA 04G-P4-3774-KR ,256-BIT,2xDVI,HDMI
Benchmarks:

Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell 4.0GHz ------------- 11335
Intel® Core? i7-5930K 3.5 Ghz------------------- 11725

In the real world for a multi-core application that is about the same. I would go with the $360 CPU.
