Which is better?

[kordozar]

Right now i'm running a i5-4670k, im wondering is it worth to upgrade to a i7-6700k? if it matters i got a gtx 1060 3gb oc, fairly new to pc building

Since you're going to change the socket if you go to an i7-6700k I would recommend switching to ryzen. Get a 3600 which will have 2 more cores than the 6700k and it's a lot newer and if you're buying it new cheaper.

Upgrading to a 6700K would make absolutely no sense imo unless you got it and a compatible motherboard for free.

Either get an i7-4770/4790 if you can get one for a good price, or get a decent B450 board, like an MSI B450M-PRO VDH MAX, with either a Ryzen 1600AF or the upcoming 3300X, and some 3000MHz memory if you go for the 1600AF or 3600MHz if you go for the 3300X (assuming you don't want to spend much on the whole upgrade).

I'm buying it as a bundle off of fb marketplace, this is what the bundle is listed as.

 

"Motherboard i7 6700k cpu 516gb nvme m.2 Cpu cooler Selling as bundle 500$ Works good"

 

i've asked him what kind of motherboard, waiting for a response

not worth it unless u can find really fuking cheap motherboard, other then that u should go ryzen 3600x and pair it with fast ram, 3200mhz cl14, or 3600mhz cl 16

there's no way i'd buy that for $500 (US dollars, I'm assuming).

 

for $500 you can buy:

 

$175 Ryzen 5 3600

$50 air cooler of your choice (or not, up to you if you intend to overclock)

$100 B450 of your choice

$80 16GB RAM 3600 kit of your choice

$80 500gb NVME drive of your choice 

 

with enough left over for beer

extremely overpriced.

you can get a ryzen 5 3600 system for cheaper that will perform better.
