Solution
6600k has better clock - but only by 2% - which means you would not notice the difference. Also note that 6600k comes without cooler - so the price gap becomes even bigger then 35$ (unless you already have a cooler). If you don't mind the costs, I think you could go with 6600k and Z170 or Z270 board - giving you the option to OC it sometime in the future. If you want 'best for the money', 7500 is better choice here.
MSI B250 boards are good for 7500.
Depends on the prices you can get them. 6600k would be better IF overclocking, but if using just base clock, those CPU are very close in performance. But you would most likely need different motherboard for them (due to BIOS problems with 7th gen CPU on 6th gen mobo), so that counts too.

like i said i dont want to overclock,and the i5 6600k is 230$ and the i5 7500 is 195$ if they are very close in performane i am going to buy the i5 7500 because its cheaper but is it better than the i5 6600k if i am not overclocking ?and is the MSI Pro Series Intel B250 good for the i5 7500 ?
