Depends. What are you trying to do with this PC?

 

actually i would recommend the 8600K on a second thought

personally im going to be waiting for coffee lake, currently rocking an i7 4770k so im a little behind. planning to do a full system upgrade.

Wouldn't hurt to wait if you're able. You'll have to wait and see what the benchmarks are like to decide if it's worth while over the 6700k, no one can really tell you which will be better.

Get a 6700k and then wait for cannon lake.

I'm assuming you're already thinking about it, but you'll need a new motherboard for the 8th gen i5.

Just wait, save a bit more cash and get a 8700k. You won't regret it

Then you will experience much lower performance in single thread applications (pretty much most games across the board).

 

And yes you will need a new board, but then you won't have to touch your CPU/Mobo/Ram for a long time.

If you can afford it, wait for Coffee Lake and get the 8700K, otherwise wait for the price drops and get a 8600K maybe? We can only speculate though, since we don't yet have it. Wait it out, watch for the prices and then decide.

My budget is around 300€ so i dont think i can go with a 8700 , if the i5 will have a good price ill go with that

I guess you should be able to get a 8600K with that, unless Intel intends to rip us all off with their prices.

Personally I would wait a bit for the i7 6700k to drop in price, if price is a major consideration and you don't need a new motherboard (I do't know if you do with the a150m motherboard.

 

I wouldn't go i5 now.

If the cpu is around 250€ ill still need another 100€ for a mobo atleast   i'll see

yea i dont want to spend too much on a cpu , while im only using a 480 rx and playing on 1080p but i still want it to be capable at least 2-3 years

Any reason why the i7 6700k in special? you can BIOS update your motherboard and slap an i7 7700 on it which is all you need for any high end gaming ^^

They even up since the i7 7700 can boost up to the i7 6700k 4.2ghz the same way and it comes with a free stock cooler

Im using a 212 evo so i dont need the cooler  but yea , i could do that the 7700 is 30€ cheaper here so maybe its not a bad idead altought i never updated bios before

You're very welcome ^^

 

 

The difference is huge, not only in fps gain but you can see how on the i7 side it never stutters while on the i3 it stutters quite frequent not to mention those 100% usages makes multi-tasking while gaming impossible.
