The main problem with the comparing an 920 or any 1366 processor and a 6700k is your mention about an SSD. Consider that the majority of the 1366 / x58 platform motherboards only supported SATA II out of the box. Give both systems a similar pcie SSD and differences become less obvious. Speaking from experience, I can confirm that the x58 system I still use with a 990x and a pcie SSD performs in line with my newer 6700k system. Worth mentioning, both systems have the same (slightly older) kinston predator pcie SSD. If were to install an NVMe drive in the skylake system it may be noticeably more responsive, but as it stands, the systems are not noticeably different in day-to-day use. While I agree that a 920 (even with a healthy OC) is nothing next to the 6700k, I can verify that in practical, daily use the 1366 system isn't much different than the 1151 assuming both have OS drives of comparable speed. TL,DR - if you still have an x58 rig, don't make my mistake. Buy a 1366 hexcore, pcie ssd, and wait for a more compelling reason to upgrade.
