I'm a professional videographer, but i also use my pc for gaming/streaming as well (3-4hrs/day)
i have 2 options:
i5 6600k+ GTX 1070 & i7 6700k+GTX1060
which one should i choose (future proof), i will buy a new pc once every 3 years so the pc only need to last for that amount of time
(pricing in my country is quite high, and the components are pretty limited so i only have these 2 options)
Please help me, thank you!

You are not completely right, the 6600k combo is better for gaming and can take the editing.
The problem is trading rendering speed for gaming performance.
The 6700k's rendering times are almost twice as fast as the 6600k, but the 1070 is almost 50% faster than the 1060.
OP, you are gonna have to trade one for the other, it's your choice.

6600k choice, if you get a very good fan you can oc that bad boy to match the 6700k. Make sure you have a z170 motherboard to make use of the Skylake K CPUs. The difference between 1060 and 1070 is too good to pass up for 500MHz per core. Especially seeing as gaming is more GPU heavy and video editing ( I think that's what you mean) Isn't too CPU intensive for any Skylake that's not i3/Pentium.

Thanks for the answer, so after a little bit of research i found out in the store that i'm gonna be buying my pc from, there's a Xeon e3 1230 v5 which has hyperthreading and going with the Asrock e3v5 fatality (Xeon is overclockable on this mobo)+gtx 1070, and that is just perfect for me

Thanks for the suggestion, the i7's render time as "lakimen" said on the answer below is significantly lower than the i5, but it's not vital for me, i just need a smooth editing experience (not rendering time), and a pc that last for a pretty long time, so i'm going with gtx 1070 but not with the i5, because the differences between the i5 6600k and xeon e3 1320 v5 is just like 50$ and i have the hyperthreading as well so it's pretty good, consider that i'm just a "typical 1080p gaming dude" ( i have 3 1080p monitor)

hmm, i thought that the overclock capability is depend on the hardware. Yes i know that Intel doesn't like the non-K product to be able to overclock

In my country the i7 cost 100$ more than the xeon tho, and z170 motherboards are very expensive (because they mostly are out of stock), my budget is really tight so i can't pay more and my pc is very important (as mention above i'm professional videographer), so i can't spend time to save more money
