I was going to get a Intel core i7 6700k at first but the i5 6600k has a lower price, which one should i choose? or maybe other cpu from intel?

For gaming a light work

Might help if you say what's the GPU you are going to use it with. If I had the money for an i7 I would get an i7

GTX 1070

The i7 has 4 more logical threads, it makes it a bit faster than an i5, but if your on a budget, it's definitly not worth the upgrade from an i5, since most game only use 4 threads, the gains are very minimals.

Not really, all games that I know of are optimized for 4 threads, so usually, the difference between the 2 CPUs are within margin of error.

They are many videos on youtube about i5 vs i7 :

Na i5 should work well with 1070 and you can use saving to buy better on other parts like storage

i5 is perfect fit for your needs. i7 is really best for people who need to multitask or wont upgrade their PC for several years and want to stay relevant.
