Why? i7 over Skylake, especially for streaming. Skylake really isn't that much more powerful, and requires ddr4 RAM, and is more expensive.

The price difference between skylake and haswell is still not to much in difference so you aren't saving much by sticking with haswell, and ddr4 is cheaper then ddr3 even now and then, but usually the same price.

@sjoerd108@Rangaman42 but do eny of you have eny experiance with the 6600k and the 4960k?

when i watch benchmarks with the 6600k in about 15 fps better and the price difrends with ddr3 and ddr4 isnt a lot

My opinion is to go sklake if you plan on upgrading your rig in the next few years because then you wouldn't have to buy new ram.

Gpu : gtx 980ti

Games: bo3  gta5 that kind of games

Would you be able to afford a 4790k? or any other 4th gen i7? If that works out the same price as the 6600k, go for that. Otherwise may as well stick with the 4690k to save a little cash.

If you're streaming, grab a Xeon 1231 v3. Basically an i7 4770 without the iGPU.

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

The CPUs are both ~$245 ...DDR4 is as cheap as DDR3 unless you get the extremely high clocked DDR4.

What he said, should be nice and cheap and you won't need the iGPU, you also won't be able to OC but you won't really need it.
