So, I was looking at some processors. I was looking at the Skylake I7 6700K and the I7 5820K. Their is no limit on my budget, I just want to get the best performance out of gaming, rendering, I'm struggling to find out which one is better.
 
Solution
the 6700 would be both cheaper and perform better in most cases due to much higher clocks.
in addition, the Z170 seems to be more reliable than X99.
An i7 6700k would be better than an i7 6700. You will need an overclockable motherboard and cpu cooler to overclock the i7 6700k though. And if you can afford it, go for the i7 6800k, the extra cores and threads are very useful for core/thread demanding programs.
 
i didn't.
I referred the i7 6700K in a short way by omitting both i7 and K and without mentioning intel anyway. There were only two CPUs in the list, so don't see a point to write the whole name.
But you are right. Just in case - I was talking about i7-6700K
