Both pretty much gonna run the same, get the one thats cheaper. If you dont need overclock, go down to 11400 or 10400, their F or non F variants are valid.

The 11600k is newer, and a teeny tiny bit faster. Both perform about the same, if they are priced similar go for the newer 11600k.

 

Usually the 10600k is cheaper and a great way to save money.

11th gen has much better single core perf, but multicore is going to be about the same. It also supports PCIe 4.0, if that matters to you. Either is good. I'd try to find some game performance benchmarks that compare the two and see if the extra oomph of single core perf in 11th gen is worth it to you for the types of games you like to play.

Seems the cheap Intel CPUs have dried up of late. Unless you're going to be paying under $200 for either, you're better off with the 5600x.
