So I'm building a new pc and using pcpartpicker I've decided on all the components but one, the cpu, so far I've got the I5 6600, 6600k, 7600 and the 7600k. I dont plan on overclocking, however I have chosen a Z-series mother board so will prob experiment. The K series chips I chose only because of the small amount of extra speed. I do a lot of heavy gaming, netflix and websurfing, that's pretty much it.
Thanks in advance.

Ok well if you are planning on doing ANY overclocking, even just for experimentation you need to get the K series as the non series are multiplier locked so are very limited for any overclocking at all. For heavy gaming the extra CPU speed above and beyond the default K series clocks are extremely easy to get with any good Z series motherboard as they can do the basic work for you. It's free performance.

Personally I am running a 6700K OC'd to 4.6 GHz at stock voltage. Volts and heat are the two main things to worry about for OCing.

So that leaves you with a 6600K or a 7600K. Either way is fine. The 7600K will get you a free 2 or 300 MHz boost over the 6600K with both running stock settings. Just make sure to get a Z270 chipset...
