I'm still weighing whether to choose 2011 or 1151 socket.
Focus is mainly on gaming and overclocking.

I'm still figuring out whether to go for 2011 or 1151 socket. Gaming and overclocking are the top concerns. I should pick between 6850K and 6700K, as they seem quite similar. 6700K works better with a single GPU, while 6850K is better for SLI.

This really got me laughing! The 6950X is amazing, but it won't beat a 6700K in speed. Spend your money on the new Pascal Titan X if you have to. Better get two of them—it seems like you won't run out of cash.
