Guys, I have a couple of questions:
- Should i get the i5 6600k or i7 6700k? Just for gaming, not for editing and rendering!
-Will the i5 6600k or i7 6700k bottleneck the gtx 1070?
-What monitor should i get for this: 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz? 1440p 144hz is over my budget.
-Should my PSU be: Seasonic M12ii 620, EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS or XFX TS 550w?
-Motherboard: ASUS z170 PRO GAMING or Gigabyte z170x - Gaming 3?

I would appreciate if you answer me these questions. Thank you.

1. get the 6600k. there is potemtially no difference in the two for most games. However games that benefit from more CPU power will find the 6700k more favorable. its up to the games you play. in that case, I would recommend a Xeon E3 1231 v3 or v5 instead. i7 for a 100$ less
2. neither will most of the time. bottleneck is overused and incorrectly perceived. no bottleneck ro any hardware limitations would ovvur
3. whichever one you would like. would you prefer super smooth images with a 1080p or sacrifice some speed for a better resolution? the cheapest 1440p 60Hz is the Acer one, at 259.99. cheapest 1440p 144Hz is 350+
4. honestly the PSUs listed are all VERY good PSUs. at this moment, though, the Antec High Current gamer 620w PSU is...

5. either is a good board. none of them are bad. you choose whichever one you like better. has the features you want

Gaming only? Get the i5. No neither cpu would bottleneck anything.
All 3 of those psus are good. Get the cheapest one.
Same thing with those 2 motherboards. I like the Asus Z170-A the best though.

The monitor is such a personal choice. Let me check some prices.
