I'm just a bit worried about the lower clock speed of the 6700 thats all, will that make a noticeable difference?

Maybe in some games but locked i7 tend to fair better than any i5 for the majority

SO, I have a measly AMD a10 6800k (it needs to go, f a s t). I already own a z170 board, it was on sale for 49.99 so I just grabbed it. Anyway, i5 6600k and overclock OR i7 6700? I can upgrade the 6700 to a 7700k in the future, when the 6700 shows its age. This cpu must last me about 4-5 years. I personally think the i7 is a good choice as it has hyper threading and that will help in newer games that use more than 4 cores (BF1 for example).

 

Please share your thoughts, thanks ;)

i7s are i7 and i5s are i5, and they are not gonna change (except core and thread count)

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Yeah, I suppose, although the manufacturing process changes (60nm, 32nm, 22nm, 14nm, 10nm)
