6700k or 7700k

[Tock2000]

Hey guys I need some advice! 

 

I currently have an i5-6500 and have the opportunity to upgrade my cpu at relatively low cost. But was wondering if it is worth spending the extra to get a 7700k instead of a 6700k, I will be overclocking it on a Z170 Pro gaming (as long as the 7700k is able to be overclocked on a Z170 board if not decision made)

 Specs:

Asus Z170 pro gaming

16gb corsair vengeance ddr4

Custom water cooling loop

 

Cheers for you help!

7700k oc further than 6700k. go with that. and the price diff is so small

7700K. You have good cooling so you should be able to get 5+ GHz out of it. Just make sure you have a BIOS that supports the 7700K.

He has a 6500 on it so he'll be fine

I'd get the 7700k, just make sure that you update your Bios with the i5 6500 before you put in the new cpu.

if you already have a mobo and a chip to update the bios to the latest (which you do) the 7700k is *at least a guarantee for a faster clock speed out the box*
