Either would do fine.
The 3930K is a beast though, should last you many years being a 6-core processor, some games also *do* benefit from the 2 extra cores, Civilisation and Battlefield come to mind.
I personally wouldn't listen to anyone who says that a 6 core processor is a waste, people said the same thing about Quad-Cores when the Q6600 was launched over 5 years ago, the Q6600's clocked to 3.6ghz are still running games like Battlefield 3, where-as the Dual-Cores pretty much went in the bin, the Q6600 turned out to be an excellent long-lifed chip.
Also what kind of monitor set-up are you using?

If you can afford it then it's good but in terms of "bang for your buck" it's a case of diminishing returns, especially if you get a quad core chip with hyper-threading.
