Should i get the i5-6600, 6500, or 6600k?

Awesomlego · Jul 13, 2016

I am selecting a cpu for my new build, and am wondering which i5 core to get. The 6500 is comfortably in my budget, the 6600 is and the edge of my budget, and the 6600k is a little outside of my budget, but there's a fifty-fifty chance I'll overclock. This is my first build. It will mainly be a gaming rig, but also for schoolwork. Thanks in advance.

if you plan to overclock then get the K version. there isn't much difference between the 6500 and 6600

As Captain stated above, if you do plan to OC, get the K version, also, if you are on a budget the option between to OC or not could also be on the motherboard, do not forget that the chipset needed to Overclock the Skylake Mainstream chip is the Z170, so if you had added any motherboard without it, you could go with the non-k version and it should perform the way it was designed to.

How many fps do you think in Battlefiled Hardline?

Graphics card? Resolution and intended image quality settings? You can't just list a CPU and ask about frames per second. Here is how various CPUs scale with no GPU bottleneck.
