Im looking to upgrade my CPU from my current 4690k to something a bit more powerful and i wanted some input. I'll be playing and streaming games like BF1, overwatch, and probably do some light editing for youtube. I'm not sure whether to go with the Z170 chipset and a 6700k, or the x99 chipset and a 6800k, or wait for kaby lake processors in 2017. Thanks for any support on this.

Budget?

6700k would be the only realistic upgrade I would see. 6600k would be a waste since they're really comparable, but x99 seems a bit much for what you're doing. Are you sure your 4690k is not enough? I have a 4.2ghz oc on mine and it runs really well in everything I throw at it.

My budget is around $700-$1000, my 4690k is at 4.4GHz and it works fine for most things but when im maxing out games while streaming it starts to fall short
