CPU: 6800k, or the new 7700k?
I'm building a new system in about a month, and am currently finding the right parts for the build. I'm stuck because I can not for the life of me choose the right CPU. I've been reading everything I can find but still can't figure out which CPU to go for, so that I can finish my build and start ordering.
So let's get down to what the system will be used for:
Gaming on the maximum settings, at 1080p. I do not yet feel the need to go any higher on resolution, but if I do decide to, I want to be ready for it.
Streaming to Twitch... etc. I'm hoping to achieve the 1080P 60FPS mark with some games, I know it's a lot to ask for, especially for someone who isn't partnered, but I have the need. I could work with 720p 60FPS, as long as the quality is nice, crisp, and smooth. We can't forget about the chrome tabs that will be open, and any other misc programs that may/will be running at the same time that I am gaming and streaming.
Rendering videos to put on YouTube. Shouldn't be a problem with either CPU but figured I would add that in.
Here is the build I am going for:
i7 6800k OC to 4.5Ghz (as long as I don't totally fail on the lottery) / i7 7700K OC to 5.0Ghz (Again, lottery)
Asus ROG strix x99 mobo / Asus Maximus IX CODE
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Samsung 960 Evo 1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card
Thanks is advance for the help, and hopefully we can get this solved.
