Okay guys you've probably been asked this a millions times buy now but I'm building a new pc and I'm having trouble deciding if I should go i5 7600k? Or i7 7700k ?

I get that i7 will out perform i5 in games with an extra 5-10fps and in video editing / 3d modelling the i7 will out perform but by how much ? And will it make a big difference in video editing and 3d modelling ??? £150 difference ?

Rest of build will be - 1080ti
16 gb ram
Z270 mobo
You get the general idea

Thank you for any answers !!

The i7-7700K would be (and was/is) my choice; if forced into a lower budget total, I'd look for an R5/1600-based rig...; you'd could even postpone an expense and use an old hard drive to save funds now, and, replace that later with an SSD, preferably M.2 NVME...

Thank you for the reply, I've managed to get what I think to be a good build for about £1550
Please let me know what you think anything I could change

CPU- i7 7700k
GPU - asus 1080ti strix
PSU - Corsair 750w full modular
Mobo - z270 as rock pro 4
CPU cooler - 212 evo
Ram - 16gb g shift rip jaws 3000mhz
Case - game max vega full case
Ssd\hdd - 240gb ssd sata3
I already have 2 tb hard drive so I don't mind putting games \ programs on this untill I can get some more mula for a bigger sad and just put windows on the see I'm getting, can get a 240 GB SSD for 50 pounds so that will do for Windows for now
