So for I was going to buy the i7-6700 cpu chip because I plan on using my pc for Video editing, but not the majority. The majority is going to be spent gaming; the rest making videos for twitch, youtube, and editing my own videos. So I'm trying to decide whether I should buy:

i5-6600k

i7-6700

i7-6700k or other if there is better alternative. 

Here is my build thus far.

I'll just use a screenshot and call it good.

If you aren't going to OC then just get i7-6700 w/ H170 mobo (if you want save on mobo then go w/ B150). I'd def recommend getting an i7 if you're planning on doing some video editing on a side.

u dont NEED a z170, just for ocing

Putting a 6700K on an H110, B150 or H170 board seems like a waste of a lot of money, especially with the price of 6700s sliding downwards.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
