I'd say 6700 for the hyperthreading which should help in streaming.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

It really depends on the game actually, I would say in most games the i7 6700 will be faster, but if you overclock the i5 6600K to like 4.5Ghz it should beat the i7. There is also the price difference, I would personally go with the i7 6700.

CPU: i5 6600K @ 4.0Ghz w/ Corsair H60 GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified 3GB BOARD: Asus Z170-A RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x4GB DDR4 3200Mhz PSU: Corsair AX 860

I would get the i7 6700 as you'll see a benefit from hyper threading when you stream,

If you could save up some more money a i7 6700k will be even better.

CPU: i5 6600k OCed to 4.5Ghz @ 1.35v, GPU: R9 390 Nitro, Motherboard: Asus z170-A, CPU Cooler: H100i GTX, RAM: HyperX 2x8 16gb DDR4, PSU: Seasonic x650, Storage: 850 EVO 500gb, WD 1tb blue, Case: H440 White/Black
