hello /g/, oldfag needs a bit of an advice.

I am building a PC and struggle with the CPU choice. Here's the list so far:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V4q2WX

For the CPU it would be either i5-6600K or i7-6700K, the differences according to specs [1] are:
base frequency: 3.5 GHz vs. 4.0, max turbo is ~4.0, 6 vs. 8 MB cache and hyperthreading.

I will use it for a little bit of gaming in windows (GTA, X-plane and Farming Simulator 2017) and will use it for heavy statistic calculations and video editing (including transcode) in linux. So as the price difference is ~110 bucks my question is: Will it actually make any difference, is it worth investing that money?

thx for inputs

I've been out of the market for awhile, but since you are doing video editing, the extra threads will make a difference (not so for games). According to a brief google search though it seems that if you try to OC with that H170 board it will disable HT on the 6700K turning it into a 6600K so I'd suggest swapping out for a Z170 board like one of these:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9L2rxr/asus-motherboard-z170p
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8q38TW/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170xpsli
I'm partial to AsRock at the lower-end.
Or getting a non-K CPU and lose the aftermarket cooler.

Any particular reason you are spending so much for your RAM? I count 3 16GB kits all for around ~$73 available, half of what your set is going for:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Gv8Zxr/a-data-memory-ax4u2400w8g16drz

What are you going to do for your storage subsystem? Graphics?

Apparently Intel is going to be launch Kabylake at CES (beginning of January) which should offer a bit more clockspeed headroom, hardware-based 10-bit HEVC decode support, and things like USB 3.1 and more PCI-E Lanes.

Not to mention it will drop prices somewhat on Skylake-class CPUs/mobos.

thx for your answer.

For storage I am fine, I have 3 TB of fast SSD and 1 TB ssd for things that have to run fast and I am connected to ~24 TB storage server via network.

for I5 6600K V.S. I7 6700K I also watched https://youtu.be/ArYrvLwaBaw and choose I7 6700K, since I will do lots of video and photography editing. I think this will be an advantage, 'cause I don't plan to overclock and still get the 4 ghz base and plan this pc to last 3-4 years in active service.

Regarding the RAM, i simply didn't find any cheaper at my local store:

I only found this in another store:
http://www.brack.ch/corsair-vengeance-lpx-ddr4-364394

I'll look at the Z170 boards now, thx

Flight sims require a beefy processor more so than a beefy gpu (especially since they're all made by slavs so the graphics are shyte). Get dem cores boi

WRONG simulator.

>>57849200
If you buy a K cpu, buy a Z chipset. >>57849086
Assrock sucks, they killed my 6600k.
Prices never drop on Intel products
Skylake already has 3.1
>>
>>57848894
Just buy a 5820k or 6800k. Essentially in the same price range, but with vastly better multi threaded performance. Which you can actually use with your workload.

>>57849200
look for M.2 NVME SSD
