NEED
(1) only game that needs 6 core "today" is BF4. every other game needs 4 core (honestly ~2.5 core). on top of this. (2) only if you are planning to run 780ti/290x in multi gpu configuration.
if neither of these applies. stick with i5 haswell.
honestly. even an i5 sandy bridge will more than suffice.
WANT
haswell e all the way. bragging right are not cheap.
