So the situation is that i already have a hp envy mobo (IPM17-TP) z170 i think, what was used with an i7 6700k, my question is should i buy an i5 7600k with a new mobo or go with hp mobo and buy just the cpu?
 
Solution
If you only need to play games on it, then the i5 is more than sufficient. If you plan to stream your gameplay and/or record and video edit, then the i7 would be preferable.
