Is the i5-6600K enough to give above *60fps* heavily modded with shaders and texure packs or would you *really* recommend the i7-6700K. Graphics card I'll be using will be either gtx 980 or R9 390x.

Minecraft is mostly cpu intensive with not much demand placed on the gpu. An i5 should do just fine, many with i5's and even a moderate gpu with 8-16gb of ram are in the 100's of fps even modded.

Maybe not a decisive benchmark but some other users experiences based on their setups.

I'd stick with the i5 personally and overclock it. Unless you're using something like optifine I believe it is, minecraft generally doesn't make much use of hyperthreading. Faster cores make more of an impact.

That is even overkill for minecraft. Mostly that GPU. That processor should run minecraft just perfect, but for a GPU you need no more than a 750 ti to get like 500000 FPS on minecraft. Not that demanding of a game.

I play games other than minecraft but would you say the i5-6600K would run heavily *modded*, with *shaders* and *HD texure packs* above *60fps* ?

I'm not actually sure. I currently have an i7 4770 and can say that, on max settings, with mods and shaders, with HD packs, it is above 60fps. So I'd say yeah. If you feel you need an upgrade you can go for a better GPU.
