The K one you can overclock.

Don't forget you need a Z170 motherboard to overclock it

[GreezyJeezy]

K = overclockable 

 

non K = cant overclock without doing sketchy shit if you can still even do that

[typographie]

Both can be overclocked, but the i5-6600 can only be overclocked by changing it's base clock. The i5-6600K allows you to do that and to change it's clock speed multiplier. The latter is what you'd want to do a lot of serious overclocking.

so if im not going to overclock can i just take the non k for the cheaper price ?

It makes a part, cpu in this case, run faster. This gives you more performance.

Absolutely.

 

You also won't need a beefier CPU cooler if you aren't overclocking, the one that comes in the i5-6600's box will do fine. Also, you might be able to save some money with an H170 motherboard, since you won't need the Z170 chipset if you won't overclock.

Can't.  Intel stopped that with a code fix.

cant you still downgrade your BIOS or use a hacked/modded BIOS to do it

[SilverDuckie]

is  MSI B150M BAZOOKA  ok ??

Probably, but that's a high chance of bricking.

I do that, I use the F5g version which is not listed on gigabytes website. Official if F5 which does not support ocing

Yes, I think so. B150 is the low-end Intel chipset, appropriate for very simple systems. But assuming you only intend to use a single video card and not a lot of other expansion cards, it's probably all you need.

[SilverDuckie]

im also trying to find a good gpu but the pc builder just shows 

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Aero OC

and not the

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X

is it any BIG diffrence

what about h110

I didn't realize this until I checked, but H110 seems to have less of everything versus B150. It has the older DMI 2.0 link, PCIe 2.0 lanes provided by the chipset instead of PCIe 3.0, and fewer USB and SATA ports. I'd probably recommend a B150 board over it, unless you're saving a ton of money and it's still good enough to meet your needs.

Well the cheapest costs around 50 bucks
