USED i5-6600K vs NEW i5-6500

Soo looks like the ever-increasing PhP to Dollar rates are affecting component pricing here in our country. Uugh.
I found out that a brand new i5-6500 costs as much as a used i5-6600K. I think I can even haggle the 6600K ads to 5-10$ lower than the new i5-6500.
Should I go for the 6600K? AFAIK Intel CPUs have 3-years standard warranty so I'm kinda "safe".
(Sort of) Issues:
1.) I'm building on an H-board, I am not willing to go for a Z-board as the price difference is insane.
2.) If I do get funds to get a Z-board, I will be building on an teeny weeny SG13. Sooo unless I AIO, I won't be getting decent clocks without the whole system burning.
The TL;DR is, is it okay to get a used 6600k over a new 6500 even if I am 100% certain I will not be overclocking the 6600K?
6500,
6600k is better by a bit tho, but i would prefer take no risk and take the new stuff with warranty etc..
If you sure the cpu is good, then get the 6600k anyway as it has slightly higher performance
And a cpu is made to last 20+ years
