i5 6600K is it worth it?

[Ninomoto]

I've seen some pretty good reviews of the i5 6600K and the benchmarks in most cpu intensive games like arma 3, h1z1 and csgo were pretty fking good. I mean the average FPS in amra in a high pop server and in exile mod WERE 50! even 60 never dropped below 50 fps, do you think with an RX 480 8GB Strip Gaming OC would be a really good combination ? here is the gpu http://www.skroutz.gr/s/9541750/Asus-Radeon-RX480-8GB-Strix-Gaming-OC-90YV09K0-M0NA00.html and do you also think this psu is good enough for my system with also an Corsair SSD le 240 gb? http://www.skroutz.gr/s/2591540/Corsair-Builder-Series-CX600-80Plus-Bronze.html

There is no 6500k, I assume you mean the 6600k. 

[Megah3rtz]

Yes a 6600k/7600k would be a good combo for the RX480.

Well if you don't plan to overclock it, then sure.

And if you go with locked chip you also don't need to buy Z170 motherboard, but can get something cheaper. So overall it will save you some money.

When you get a non K CPU, you will need to overclock a bit diffrently, meaning bclk, whick translates to more volts across the system.

Well if you are getting Z170 motherboard, go with i5 6600k CPU instead. It makes more sense.

About PSU: I can recommend RM650x from corsair.

Or you can check on this forum under PSU section, where you will find PSU tier list, then just find if any PSU from tier 1 or 2 is avaliable in your region for your budget.

Yeah, only DDR4 will work. You can't even fit DDR3 to DDR4 slot.

So yes, you need to buy DDR4 memory.
