I7 6700K or wait for the I7 7700K

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

if you don't do a lot of editing, then you might as well get an i5 and save some money

and get more bottleneck from 1070 only if he can afford an i7? nah

Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...

an i5 does not bottleneck a 1070, idk where you got that from, but it doesn't

first of all, YES it bottlenecks, and second, it has no sense spending 400 bucks on a graphics card and only 200 on cpu because if has enough money for a 1070, why not get and i7? I would get an i5 6600k + 1060 6gb (if he has not enough money for both), which it will have a lot less bottleneck on games...

 

and here as you can see, that guy has around 90% cpu load and 80% gpu load...
