I5 6600k or i5 7600k

Hey I am building a new computer and was wondering should I get the 6600k or the 7600k? I don't plan on overclocking in the near future. I'm mainly using this computer for gaming with an rx 480 or 1070, depending on my budget.

if you aren't editing save the money and go with the 6600k. If you aren't overclocking go with the straight 6600.

on amazon the 6600k(237) is actually more expensive than the 7600k (235) only by 2$ you should just go with the newest considering the prices are so close. If you really aren't going to overclock, you don't need a K series. in which case the 6600 (214) is 10$ cheaper than the 7600 (224)

it's a question because I'm trying to save as much money as possible. Thanks for the input and I'm getting the k version because microcenter doesn't sell the non k version. Also I might overclock later on when I get more comfortable.

Why microcenter? See if other stores sell non K for cheaper?

microcenter gives me either 20 to 30 bucks off the motherboard. The CPU are usually the same prices as Newegg and other places.
