non-k I7 cpu vs k I5 cpu?

>>58835470
It is usually better to buy a k-series CPU if you plan to clock it higher than stock.
But, for better performance out of the box, a non-k series is not bad.
But why are you not just waiting for Ryzen?

With my 6600k I can get 2440 single and 8500 multi threaded. The multi score is equal to a stock 6700.

Why not a locked i5 that you can overclock, aka Skylakes.

Or just locked i7 skylake and Z170 mobo, then overclock it to 4.5Ghz or higher.

Yes, you heard me. Locked skylake, not kabylake i5 or i7. Then overclock it with Z170 motherboards.

What memory is that using?

>>58835470
Locked I7 + cheapest mobo + stock fan > unlocked CPU + expensive mobo and cooler.

Why pay more for less performance?

I had to make a similar decision back in 2011. i5-2500K + expensive mobo vs i7-2600 vs cheap mobo.

Stock 2600 doesn't cut it anomore, 2500K at 4.8GHz and 1600MHz ram overclocked to 2133MHz is still comparable to Skylake i5s.

8GBx2 3000 Mhz

However had to downclock memory to 2666 Mhz for stability
