My current build:
i5-2500k
gtx 560ti (recently upgraded to 970)
8gb ram
Upgrading to:
i5-6600k or i7-6700k
gtx 970 (already upgraded)
16gb ram
I've researched a lot and asked a few friends of their opinions about the build, but i just wanna be 100% sure about everything before I purchase it (so expensive. i dont wanna regret it.). I've had my PC for about four years now and I can't play newer games even on high settings anymore; my fps drops below 30. The recent upgrade to 970 allowed me to play games on high/ultra once again, but with occasional lags on populated areas.
I mostly play MMORPGs (like Vindictus, Blade & Soul, Tera, League of Legends, etc). And I also record occasionally to upload on YouTube just to share with friends; no fancy editing or anything like that. I also sometime stream privately for my friends, although very rarely.
Anyway, I have heard that MMOs tend to be more CPU intensive, so I was actually contemplating on getting the i7-6700k. I've researched many times about it, but I really do not get any clear answer on the subject.
So my question is, am I better off with the 6600k instead of the 6700k?
(considering the games I play, recording, simple editing, and minimal streaming)
Thank you!
