Hey Everyone! So, I'm kinda on a (Canadian) budget here, and i need help cutting some costs on my build without changing the GPU, CPU, or Case. Thanks for any help!

Mostly Gaming (Call of Duty and Stuff)

If you intend on mostly gaming you don't need such a high end CPU, an i5-6600k will be perfoming as much as the i7. If you intend on rendering some stuff and videos at a later point tho, keep it, it's going to come in handy.

Nah, the 6700k is a better gaming cpu than the 6600k, But I agree that it's a reasonable place to try to trim a few bucks, especially given Canadian prices. It's still an extremely strong gaming cpu, and a little better than a 4790k on average.

Yah depending on the games you'll play that CPU might come in handy. Not gonna happen for me tho, I strongly hate strategy games and stuff, so that's why I went for that chip over the i5. That and the pricetag of course.
