So I am building a budget gaming build which will atleast last me 4years, the only thing I need is the CPU, i have a gtx 1050ti and i need a cpu which wont bottleneck the gpu and be good for light gaming and video editing.(I just want to play overwatch and maybe some other games in the coming years).

Anything between the price of a i3-6100 and i5 6600,

I'd have to agree with the i5 6500, it would do the trick nicely

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB

i5- NOT i3, which model depends on where you can find the best bargain- maybe even get a 6600k if you can find one at the price of a 6600- especially if you have a z170 board. Then it would allow you to OC later when you upgrade to a better GPU or get tired of long render times, and it will have a much better resale value later on.
