6700k or 6600k

[gunmaster1173]

Hey guys I was debating between a 6600k and a 6700k and I'm kinda stuck, I'm gonna be using my PC mostly for gaming but I'm not sure if I'm going to be editing videos or anything like that in the future, do you guys think I should get the 6600k for what I'm doing now or the 6700k just in case for future purposes?

-6600K for gaming

-6700K for editing

 

Your choice.

6600k, you can edit videos and well with 6600k, dont fall for this BS that many people tell that you need i7 for that, it just compensates if you do this a LOT.

[ClobberXD]

Primarily games : i5-6600k (a little video-editing doesn't matter)

 

Primarily video-editing : i7-6700k

 

i7-6700k does well in such multi-threaded applications, since it's got hyper-threading. It's not necessary : i5-6600k does just fine, but the i7 does fantastic.

The i5 is the best all around chip for sure. If you are primarily rendering video's or doing something that is very CPU intensive that it makes sense to spend the extra money (although i'd probably recommend a 5820K at that point) but if that's not the case then i'd recommend saving your money and going with the i5.

I want to correct you guys but I don't want to take the heat... 

 

Anyways 

 

Watch the video (skip to 1:05) 

 

 

I would say the 6700k kicks ass 

 

15-20 fps difference?

This data is clearly fake, its impossible to be this much diference and the i5 skylake be almost the same with the i7 haswell, the IPC improved at most 5%, and NOT 5% at games.

That difference almost entirely comes from that fact that the i7 6700K is clocked at 4.0Ghz compared to the 3.5Ghz of the i5 and with both being K series chips you can just set the i5 to the same speed as the i7 unless you're for some reason buying a K chip and not overclocking.

 

Oh and BF4 scales well with CPU's so the difference will be emphasized even more. I'm not saying the i5 is just as good as the i7 because the i7 does perform slightly better for the most part but that difference is not a realistic example.

The i5 6600k its in pair with the i7 4790k, thats just impossible. This data on the video is just wrong.

Yea i'm not gonna lie those numbers were way different compared to everything i've seen from reputable websites and reviewers.

Which one do u think is better performance for the price? The 6600k is 350$ CAD and the 6700k is 520$ CAD. Sadly the Canadian dollar is so shit

Honestly, the 6600K. It should be able to handle light editing pretty decently and I don't see why you have to splurge another $170 CAD for a CPU that's going perform marginally better in games.

[Headshot_]

Go for the 6600K if you're gaming. 

[z97]

6700 if you wanna flex your epeen

 

6600 if you wanna just game and do random editing here and there

Okay so for bottle necking which one will bottle next more 2 970s or 2 980d or 2 980ti?

[NumLock21]

Get the 6700K, your system isn't strictly for gaming, if it was, then most would get a console.

The 6600K won't bottleneck two 980Tis in SLI.

Tbh I'll probably just buy a 6600k and a 980 or 980ti then upgrade my cpu later on when I need to or have more money
