Which cpu to buy?

[mau9311]

Hello guys,
i currently have the i7 4770 and that cpu is going go to a friend of mine (whole computer is being giving away), i am in the need of a new cpu (New pc) i have in mind the i7 6700k or the i5 6600k, please help me decide which one to buy or suggest me which cpu should i get? i use it for gaming and some editing from time to time. is it a downgrade going for the i5 6600k from the i7 4770?
thanks

4770 to a 6600k is a downgrade.

Go to a i7 6700k.

not really its the 4770 non k the 6600k would perform better

of course not

 

get the i7 6700K though, the price is not that different but multithreads are quite. In your place would wait and get the 7700k

Look at multithreaded performance.

 

Whether you like it or not games are moving toward multithreaded performance, plenty of games can already use eight threads, including some indie titles, and high end gpus like the 1080 are losing performance when put with an i5.

yes but no but yes

 

you're right, but i5 6600K>i7 4770 but I7 6700K>i5 6600K

In most games, the 6600K will probably be about the same as the 4770, or at least close enough that overclocking the 6600K may make up the difference. But it's going to be very marginal one way or the other. In editing, the 6600K will usually be considerably worse. Overall, yes, I'd call it a downgrade.

 

Even with the 6700K, you'll probably need to do some overclocking to make it feel like a noticeable upgrade. It's really only one generation difference, and Intel doesn't move that quickly these days.

multithreads on 6600K vs 4770

About 1000 point varainces, as well as one is running osx and the other windows 7, with differing ram speeds (unknown for the 6600k), and capacities, hardly trustworthy or fair results.

 

Pretty much you just showed how faster ram helps out with cpu bottlenecks.

 

Plus it says 3.5Ghz for the 6600k, but who knows what that is actually running at.

K is overclocked at 4.6, that's the main point of K processors, but i agree with you on i7 4770>>i5 6600

[smokefest]

i5 will run games perfectly with a 1080

i7 is doing a bit better for some games, most games will be same fps...

i7 is better but not that much for games,

i5 still remain the best value for $$ / performance

The i5 6600K is propably your best bet if you arent a consistant streamer or video editor, the newer architecture together with DDR4 support makes it basically the best there is for gaming. The i7s are good if you will be playing games at the same time as you render a video, since any editing file most likely wont use more than 4 threads. Put the extra money towards your GPU
