Just wondering how overkill a asus rog maximus vii hero paired with a 6600 cpu, I dont want a I7 because i'm not doing multi-threaded work loads, what I want is a good looking board with killer overclocking features (want 6700k speeds without the 6700K price and hyper-threads)

Very overkill for a 6600 as it cannot oc, if you want to oc you need a 6600k, if not get a h170 board and a 6700

You'll need a i5 6600K if you want to overclock... not the i5 6600.

 

An i7 6700K can offer added performance over the i5 6600K in more than a few games. GTA V, The Witcher 3, Far Cry 4, Fallout 4, ARMA 3 to name some. The fallacy of a i7 6700K being a useless choice over the i5 6600K in gaming needs to go away.

 

If you're prepared to drop $200 for a motherboard, I don't see why you're not prepared to get a i7 6700K...
