I have a 1050ti and looking for a cpu either the i3 7100k or the i5 7400k. I am wanting to play games like dayz, PU battlegrounds etc

I will have to disagree here. The i3 will not bottleneck the 1050ti in most games. Sure the i5 is the better choice, but we are talking a few frames per second at best. A lot of people are pairing the 1050ti with Kaby Lake pentium processors and doing just fine with them.

If you're thinking of getting the i3 7100 - don't. You're much better off getting a G4560 as its almost the same power for half the cost.
But I'd opt for the i5 of the 2 you mention.

Overall I'd politely disagree with Coedgy, IMO, the G4560 and the 1050Ti work very well together, and the i3 7100 is almost the same CPU, so it would likely still be a decent pairing, but you may see it become a little more lacklustre in MMO / Multiplayer gaming. And you'd still be better opting for the i5 if you have the budget.

I would also as Techy says, consider the Ryzen at that level if you're already planning on getting a new MB.
