If they are about the same price for you, go with the 8700K definitely.

Whoops, thought I saw K for both. I would still go for the 8700 though.

any particular reason for that though? because from what I understand you can overclock the 7700k and make it stronger than the 8700 in terms of FPS ingame

that may be true but the 8700 will be 30-50% faster in multi threaded workloads.

no its not.

so the 8700 would be better if i wanna stream and game at the same time with high FPS right?

8700 sweeps the floor with the i7 7700k.

 

The i7 7700k is comparable to an i5 8400.

 

There is no rocket science in here, 6 of the best cores(8th gen) is better than 4 of the second best cores(7th gen).

yes

 

The 8700 will be better in every situation besides bleeding edge high FPS gaming vs a OCed 7700k, assuming you have a 144hz screen.
