Hi there after getting plenty of feedback from my last post 

I decided to buy the I5 and upgrade my system to I7 or Ryzen when the time comes, GPU will be upgraded from 1060 to 1070 or 1080, But unitl that time does come I just wanted to know from personal opinion which I5 is the best because I don't just wanna blow my money on the most expensive one thinking that its the best when someone might have had that and said you should have gotten something different so I would just like your opinions on which one I should buy. Thanks. P.S I live in New Zealand so my prices are different to everyone elses but I only need the CPU Number and ill look for it and buy it thanks!

Wait for Ryzen.

 

Don't go with the unlocked i5 ever, the locked i7 is better and cheaper (cheaper motherboard, no need for aftertmarket cooling).

I can't stress that enough. Everybody just WAIT. wait. wait. For RYZEN!! Give it a chance. Don't rush into buying new CPUs right before the release of what (shoud it be a faliure) might be the last big push from AMD.
