Yeah I know it's a classic :D going to buy one of these in the next few days. Was going with i5 but then saw this:

It's for everyone to see in the video that when both OC:ed, there's no difference, 100% agreed. But I'd say that +10fps difference in games that run max 100fps is significant. I also basically have the budget to go for the i7 although was originally going to go with i5. But I will probablöy not OC not at the beginning at least so in games like far cry 4 if the fps is more than 10% better one could say it's worth 100€ extra. I don't edit videos or stuff like that but it's certainly safer bet for the future to go with i7. Gladly would like to hear your ideas...
 
Solution
If 100 FPS over 90FPS is something you need or really want, then go for it, I would not. The difference in experience is not enough for me. Do you have a Titan X?

I use an i7 because of its superiority in things other than gaming.

No I'm probably gonna go with rx480 crossfire... And yes the truth is that I don't have a real need for 6700K but as said it will probably be a better long time investment. And I would agree that in a game like CS:GO if the difference is 300fps or 310fps who the fuck cares but if the difference is 100 over 90fps I think it's a significant difference enough... But that's my opinion. Anyway my whole idea in building new PC has been thinking ahead as money will be spent anyway. I think it would be somewhat sort sighted to save somewhat small amount of money if compared to the total cost of the whole build. But again that's my opinion :D And also you never know if hyperthreading will be an every day thing in the future

Thanks for your thoughts I was thinking the same way pretty much.
