BF1 high CPU usage

Solution
upgrading to a 6600k will not help. You will still get 100% usage. I have a 6500 myself and experience the same usage as you do. Upgrading to the 6700, well, I can't say for sure, but the game might take advantage of Hyper Threading and therefore perform better.

I too have the issue of CPU usage at 100%. I have yet to hear a definitive answer. Some speculate you need i7 and others say 16gb RAM. Really, I'm hoping it is just new game bullshit. I'd suggest waiting another month or so cuz you are not alone and lots of people are talking about this. Wait for a real proven solution.

I got an i7-6700k and I average around 92% usage with music&ts3 in the Background but regularly hitting 100%
Bf1 is hard on any cpu but doesn't have particularly high GPU demands
If you're not experience cpu related lag upgrading is wasting money

Depends on your needs.
A Solid Z170 Board is usually around 40-50$ more expensive than a good H170, a cooler are anouther 30$
The 6700 is usually 100$ over the 6600k.
Of course if you want some special Features and want to go for oc records costs can and will rise.

I'm still on the fence about i5 or i7 for BF1. I am hearing issues with 6600k running at 100% as well and less of this with those with i7. Should u buy a i5 or i7, I still think waiting for problem to be better identified should come first. Then make decision once issue is defined. Having a new i5-6400 I'd expect no issues in other games but BF1 is a headscratcher.
I'm gonna being buying a i7 + 16gb RAM so I know there is no system limitations but it will come with extra cost all in the name of BF1.

BF1 multiplayer is highly cpu dependant and will take advantage of a hex core or octa core processor if you can swing it. The new Ryzen lineup looks extremely promising for BF1 multiplayer at its price point.
