The i5 has equal gaming performance to an i7, but costs less, and generates less heat. An i7 is good for photoshop and content creation, so only get it if you are doing those, then it will be worth the extra $100.

LIBERATOR: Core i5 6400 @ 2.7GHz | GeForce GTX 670 2 GB | HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz | 250 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
My new build; Liberator, Check it out

The more friendly we are, the more helpful we are!

 

MY OLD BUILD (AKA PREBUILT MONSTROSITY)
INSANITY: AMD Athlon II X2 @ 3.0 GHz | Geforce GT 720 2 GB | 4 GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz | 120 GB Silicon Power SSD | 500 GB Hitachi HDD

What about 6600k ?

That will be a great gaming CPU as well as *some* content creation. If you won't Overclock, get the 6600 and you will be great.
