Intel i5-6600k or i7-6700 non k on a h170 mobo

[Tickletehpickle]

Good evening folks, I have a question that bugs me for a while now. My mobo is a Gigabyte H170-n WIfi  with an i5-6600 non k, I've been thinking about upgrading the CPU to a K version of 6600 or getting an i7-6700 non k. Pricing here in Australia is terrible as always  I'm also using my rig for games and when I feel like it, I use VN's and I video edit.... Cheers

There's no point getting a K CPU on H170 - you can't overclock on it (has to be Z170). I'd get the 6600 or the 6700.

Definitely the 6700. Going to a 6600K would barely be an upgrade, especially on that board. 

[Misanthrope]

On that mobo you can't easily overclock the K part so it's pointless. The default turbo of the 6700 and the hyperthreading would help more. That is not a lot but the k chip on your current mobo wouldn't help at all.

[Herman Mcpootis]

if your VN refers to virtual machine, the i7 will definitely be a better choice.

At the moment I have the 6600 non k

6700 is a 20-40% upgrade
6600K is a 0% upgrade

i7 definitely

If only those chips doesn't cost over $450 + shipping. I could've gotten it ages ago

I might have to sell one of my kidneys for a cpu
