The base clock is 4.0 Ghz, has a higher turbo speed (4.4 v 3.6), and can overclock farther than the 5820K (4.6 v 4.3), which means Dolphin will play more CPU intense games. It's also cheaper than the 5820K, while retaining hyperthreading for video editing.
It also costs less and draws less power, keeping it cheaper in the long run and letting it run at cooler.
It also supports more instruction sets (F16C, EM64T, SSE 4.1, FMA3)

I thinked about it and consulted cpuboss.com it told that the i7-4790k really got a significant higher single core speed, than the 5820k and is just better. Well, the 5820k still got more performance and it only costs 30€ more. I don't know, the i7-4790k does not support ddr4 only 1600-ddr3, while the 5820k is able to adress ram with 2133Mhz. I'm quite unsure.

The i7 5820k is based on the same architecture than the i7 4770k, it's just slightly upgraded. If anything, it should have more IPCs than the i7 4770k at the same clocks.
