Future Proofness/Performance

[Whiteout]

Hello!

I want to create a really good gaming build for as cheap as possible. Right now I am gaming on a 1080p 60z monitor, but I will eventually upgrade to either a 1440p 144hz monitor or 1080p 144hz monitor sometime in the future. I will also be video producing (video recording, editing, etc). So I put together several builds, and I want to know what others think. I have, using PCPP, made 3 sets. A i7 6700 w/ GTX 1070, and another one with a Z170 mobo and higher quality PSU. I also have a cheaper one with an i5 6500 and GTX 1060. Now I have several questions. For my purposes of gaming and editing, probably with adobe stuff and such, would it be good to get the expensive i7, or go with an i5 6600 or 6600k, or even an 6500? And should I get the 1070 with an i5? I am concerned that the i5 series will bottleneck the 1070. Is it even worth it to get a 1070? I am trying to future proof it as much as possible (hence the Z170 mobo), because I don't plan on upgrading this for several years. Let me know if you'd like any additional details.

Id go with the first build, however if going future proof you should drop a 6700K in it rather than the non-k

Personally, and this is just me, I'd go with number 1 out of the three listed. I would go for a 6790k though, overclocking allows you to have a lot more room to keep up in the later years. It's really nice to drop in a new GPU on your old platform and have no problem. I ran non-k sandy for my gaming pc until this year when I went to a 6 core, and I might have kept it longer if I could overclock it.

I don't know much about overclocking, and I really don't want to get into that. What are the benifits?

Extra performance. It's not too dangerous if you just follow some tutorials on YouTube and don't overvolt your processor. Look up "overclocking guide" on YouTube. People like JayzTwoCents have easy to follow tutorials.

Is it really that significant?

Budget?

I don't have a for sure "Im not going over this" budget. But I would like to keep it reasonable

just so you know, there is no 6790K just 6700 and 6700K in the skylake LGA1151 i7 family

Depends on what you're doing. Yes, it can be very significant and you can get a 6700k at Micro Center for $260 or a 6600k for $220. Very much so worth the money.
