It's easier to overclock a quadcore compare to hexa or octacore CPU.

Yeah. But Dont you think that The 5820k is enough?

A 'k' processor has the normally locked settings available.
Therefore buying a 'k' processor and not overclocking it is like taking a hot girl to the cinema but not going past 1st base.

Overkilled. You probably won't get high overclock with a 5820K because it's harder to reach a higher clock speed compare to a quadcore. The best option right now is a 4790K. You can buy a guaranteed 5GHz @1.32v or lower at SiliconLottery.com if you're willing to pay a hefty premium I purchased a guaranteed 4.9GHz and overclocked to 5GHz for free ^^ and saved $200 at the same time. The price difference between a 4.9 and 5GHz is $200! I don't run my CPU at 5GHz 24/7 but i do run it between 4.6GHz - 4.8GHz without adding any voltage to it. That's called a cherry picked CPU, my friend.

The 5820k would be best utilize at video editing, Photoshop, and other professional usages. Regardless, it's still a good buy but you most likely won't get a high overclock speed. FYI, even for PC gaming, a 4790K would still be the top choice based on the benchmarks out there. Go with the 5820K if you want to "future-proof" yourself for years to come. Go with the 4790K if you want "high clock speed" (overclocking result varies between CPUs unless you're willing to pay a premium for it).
