Should i go for it then.. I know linus said dont go over i5 6600k and i could save 200 euros on that cpu + if i use 16 gb ram ? but im not sure.. i will get a gtx 1070 faster but still...

Save 200 euros and sell your 770 and get a new GPU? sounds like a good plan, then get the 6600k and OC it later down the road

Will all this work together mind you its a big update for me 

Current:

CPU
    Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz    
    Bloomfield 45nm Technology
RAM
    12.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard
    BIOSTAR Group TPower X58 (CPU 1)    

Graphics
   4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (CardExpert Technology)    

 

I only have a gtx 770 and dont know when i will update it maybe next year

Oh and a 750w gx power supply so that should be enough (currently in system)

I am afraid that my gpu wont do as good...

True, your GPU might be holding this system back a bit. but it's definitely a good upgrade from the 920. the 6700K is the best gaming CPU out there at the moment!

How about i throw in a h50i instead of a 212? could i oc better with water cooling?

God no h50 is a waste of money, any 120mm watercooler is a waste of money.

 

Trust me, i've got a 120mm myself and a 212 upstairs, i only use it cause it looks sexy :P

What res do you want to run at in the future, if its 4k 60hz, or 1440p 144hz then get the i7, if its 1440p 60hz or 1080 144/60hz then get the i5
