i5 is usually fine unless you need the i7

Its not worth it to get the i7 for gaming, there is a very minimal gaming performance difference mainly because most games only heavily rely on 1-2 cores. Save your money get the 6600k.

Depends if your going to be doing Photo editing,3D rendering,and so fourth
An i5 will do very good for gaming and with no bottlenecks.

getting i7 6700k over i5 6600k will just give you 1-3 more fps. i5 6600k is a very strong cpu which can even run the gtx 1080 without problem.

instead of buying i7 6700k why not buy i5 6600k to save money and buy a better gpu like gtx 1080 or 1070.

The fps depends on your gpu, remember better gpu better gaming performance, you just need a cpu which wont bottleneck the gpu.

i7 is just for photoeditng and etc you wont get any advantage getting the i7 over i5 for gaming.

I5 is good for the 1060 .it would also be good with the 1080 .however the 6700k is the best CPU for gaming but the extra fps you get is less than 5 . You should get the i7 if you consider doing and other stuff than gaming . I recommend you buy the i5 since you wont need all the extra power of chip and it doesn't worth all the extra money and its a little overkill.

hope this helped.

Well ...
The thing is that the price difference is about 80$. If you can COMFORTABLY afford i7, get it.
there will be very little (if at all) benefit for the GTX 1060. BUT, usually a CPU upgraded at much slower pace - average gamer upgrades 2-3 times his GPU on the same CPU.
On the other hand, given you are getting the Z170 mother board (may has support for kaby lake CPUs) the CPU only upgrade is very easy.
So again, if you need to do extra effort to get the i7 over i5 or even compromise on other parts like PSU, storage, RAM etc. , it's not worth it. Get an i5
