Hello!
I'm about to upgrade my PC from an i3, to i5 or i7.
I don't know if the i7 worth the plus money.
Can you help me please? I'm a YouTuber, and i record gameplay videos, so the cpu is important, but can you help me the 100$ worth the i7 6700k or it's just a little bit better than the i5 7600k
( I have a GTX 1060 )
Thank you!

Yes, do not buy a "K" CPU if you don't intend to overclock, you'll end up spending almost $100 extra after motherboard and cooler. An i7 non-K beats even an overclocked i5-K, so it's a no-brainer if you're not overclocking.

Hyperthreading is worth about 30% more throughput and provides 4 extra hardware threads, which can reduce performance loss greatly when you're multitasking, such as streaming or recording while gaming. My vote is for the i7. However, why not the 7700K? And, will you be overclocking? If not, you could get the much cheaper i7 7700.
