I ain't very knowledgeable on processors and I've seen a lot on listings, which one would be the best deal for an upgrade from my A8 6600K to work along a lets say RX480. Will be used for some gaming and editing, but nothing too intensive.

6700k if u overclocking non k if not

i5 6600k should be fine.

nope i7 6700 costs the same and performs as well as an OC'd one.

 

personally i would go for the non k to save some money but both are excellent choices.

If you don't plan on overclocking, you can go with Xeon E3-1231V3 (Haswell). If your budget is not that limited and you want to OC, go with a Z170 board and i7-6700k. 

You'd have to wait a bit for the prices of the RX 480 to normalise in Europe.
