Hello, I am trying to build a gaming / streaming rig. Ultimately which would be the BEST cpu to use and why?

I am leaning towards 6800k for the 6 cores but have heard that it is less dependable for gaming/streaming then the 6700k. I also heard that the 6800k Is on Broadwell-E which is older?
While 6700k is on Skylake which is essentially newer despite the 6800k being the newer model by a year.

I want the bang for my buck. I want to be able to stream in relatively high FPS, on games such as DayZ, Arma 3, and so on and so forth. I know this also depends on my GPU's performance, and I have that covered.

SO all-n-all Why do you think that 6700k and/or 6800k is better then other?
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-6700K/3607vs3502 is some other things i've saw which Im not sure about.

Both these processors are insanely fast, you really cant go wrong with either of them. The i7 6800k is better just because of the 2 extra cores and the higher multi core speed/OC multi core speed etc. It should also be better overall as an i7 processor for multi tasking due to its 2 extra cores.
