I am going to be building a pc, and use it for mainly gaming. I also want to record and maybe stream a little, but mostly recording to upload to YouTube. I want to get the best fps I can while doing both. I am going to be playing games like Minecraft, CS:GO, and Overwatch.

Should I go with the i7 6700k or the i7 6850k?

GPU: EVGA GeForce® GTX 1080 Hybrid 8GB GDDR5X (Pascal) [VR Ready]

Motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX w/ USB 3.1, 3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 2 SATA Express, 6 SATA3, 1 Ultra M.2

 
Solution
If you're using Shadowplay, the 6700K will probably have an edge in most cases due to higher clockspeeds and a slight IPC advantage. If you're using the CPU to do your encoding, the extra cores on the 6800K (don't bother with the 6850) will show advantage.
