Which CPU/GPU should I get?

[GhostT2K]

Goals: Gaming and Twitch Streaming

Realistic Gaming Use: 2 hours a night max (if wife approves) while streaming

Possible Gaming Use: 5+ hours if I can get my 5 year old to play games with me on this instead of the Xbox one (still haven’t decided if that is a good idea yet)

Other uses: College work while streaming Twitch/YouTube/Netflix

Already have:

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Ram: GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Intel Z170 & Intel X99 Desktop Memory Model

Storage: Refurbished: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Power Supply: APEVIA ATX-BT700W 700W ATX12V SLI CrossFire Power Supplies

Case: VIVO ATX Mid Tower Economy Computer Gaming PC Case / Black Desktop Shell / 4 Fan Mounts, USB 3.0 Port (CASE-V01)

Still need:

CPU/GPU: I have someone that is going to be hooking me up with a i7 6700K AND a GTX 1080 (not sure how true that is)

Help:

What should I get for a CPU/GPU IF I don’t get the hook up I expect? I will only have $500 to spend total.

Should I return the H110 motherboard for a Z170 chip set? I don’t plan on over clocking right away, but I would like the option down the road, or is it even worth it for as much gaming as I will be doing?

I'm a Veteran and the VA recommended that I find a hobby to help me with my PTSD. I used to love computer gaming and have always wanted to build my own PC. I have been watching a few  streamers on Twitch for a few months now and I really like the communities they create. I'm hoping to create my own community down the road, or just have some fun. So any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I will only have $500 for the CPU and GPU total.. I can't stretch it to get a 6700 and a 1070/80 Is Over clocking even worth if for the limited use?

well, depends on the game and if the cpu is bottlenecking

or 500 bucks, an 6500 and gtx 1060 if not ocing

or 500 bucks, 6600k and Rx 480 if ocing

I would still need the Z170 chip set to oc right? I was thinking about getting the 6600k and the RX 480 or a 1060 (3gb) now and then possibly upgrading to a Z170 down the road.

The 6600k is faster even without OC. You dont have to. In most Cases OC dont bring you an outstanding Performance Plus in Games.
