I have a pc with gtx 1060 but bad cpu(fx 8320e) and i also have a ps4 original(fat) i consider to upgrade my cpu to i7 6700k(or maybe new kabylake one) with new motherboard and ram also,in the other side i also consider to upgrade to ps4 pro because i hate the anti aliasing in ps4,so many jaged and also shadow sometimes bad.
-If i upgrade the pc in my region its cost around $630
-if i upgrade ps4 pro and sell the old one maybe i can get around $250-$300
Of course if i upgrade pc i have to save money harder but what's you guys advise for my condition?

Some games are cpu limited, and some are graphics card limited.
Few games can use more than 2-3 threads. Mostly, they are multiplayer games for which no reliable benchmarks exist.

I5-6600K and I7-6700K can each be overclocked to about the same level, depending on your luck in...

Id go the PC route as you already have the 1060 and ps4 pro has limited choice of games that can even utilize the extra power might be a good choice in a year when more games support it.

You do not need to spend that much to upgrade you can do just fine with a 6600k

Today, a upgrade to i7-6700K is probably overkill.
A I5-6600K with an overclock would be just as strong for gaming as a i7-6700K.

If you were to buy today with a limited budget, consider the i3-6100.
It does very well compared to FX-8.
Here is a review:

The needed lga1151 motherboard will support a cpu upgrade of a i7-6700K.

If your need is not imminent, I would wait for the upcoming kaby lake i3-7350K

I saw in a website maybe gamesrequirements.com or someting,i run some benchmark on many games i compared i5 6600k and i7 6700k then i saw that 6600k is more weaker than i7 and in some games like the division or ac syndicate couldnt hit 60fps,on the other side i7 hit 60+ fps so i think well maybe i7 is better so i wont upgrade anymore, so i want to ask is i5 6600k with gtx 1060 compare to i7 6700k with gtx 1060 will have much different performance or not?

As of 12/04/2016
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.40v Vcore.

I5-6600K
5.2 <1% delidded
4.9 14%
4.8 38%
4.7 67%
4.6 87%

I7-6700K
4.9 5%
4.8 21%
4.7 64%
4.6 96%

If the extra $100 for a i7-6700K is not important to you, then buy it.
Otherwise, that $100 is probably better spent on a stronger graphics card.

Im afraid if i get i5 then save $100 for better graphics card which will be better in the future then i will get bottleneck,so maybe i7 for the future so the conclusion no chance for ps4 pro right?
