Hi guys, Im building my first gaming PC soon and im stuck between choosing the i5 6600(Non K) or i5 4690k. I'm looking at having this PC for more than 2 years before I upgrade. The i5 4690k scores better on single and multicore performance (From the source above)
If i get the 4690k i will most likely be overclocking to around 4.4GHz (Or whatever the hyper 212 evo can stand)
If i get the 6600(Non K) Obviously I will not be overclocking (Ive heard that you can OC non K skylakes but it would mean i have to get an aftermarket cooler and a better mobo)
So here are my two possible choices:
i5 6600- http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/sphGmG
Newer generation
Ive heard theres a 5-10% increase over a stock 4690
More 'future proof', easier to upgrade
i5 4690k - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/YNyQCJ
Will be OC to 4.4GHz
Has apparently better single and multicore performance
Cheaper to get DDR3 and mobo
OR i could save up more and get the 6600k and overclock it - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Pzkz8d
BUT this would take me another month or so to save (Im selling things at the moment to get the money)
I know mostly everyone's obvious answer would be the 6600k and OC it but then lets say the i5 4690k and 6600k are OC to 4.4GHz. What performance difference would i be looking at in a game like Arma 3 where it is very CPU intensive.
The question I'm trying to get at is, what performance difference will i be looking at If im spending an extra £70 or so i would want to be seeing a noticeable difference in nearly every game. And is it worth me saving another month to get the 6600k and OC it?
EDIT: I thought it would be useful to mention that I will only really be gaming on here. and general use (Youtube, browsing the web) But one at a time...
