When both are overclocked, the 8600K. At stock it's probably faster too but not by as much. I'd get an 8700 over the 8600K though when the cheaper motherboards come out
I have an asus z170 pro gaming motherboard already, but is i5 8600k, so much better that i should sell that motherboard and buy i5 8600k processor and a suitable motherboard? Or just i overclock i7 6700kk to 4,7ghz ,its skylake then better?

So between the 6700k and the 8600k, the difference (besides the cores, obviously) is mainly the threads, i5 8600k has 6 cores, 6 threads, the i7 6700k has 4 cores 8 threads, threads determine how much your cpu can handle, soi if you plan on doing more than gaming, (any content creation) I would say go with the I7, otherwise if this is strictly gaming go with the 8600k

6C 6T is actually more powerful for content creation than 4C/8T my man, hyperthreads aren't nearly as powerful as full cores.
@OP if you already have a 6700K it's not worth upgrading, just OC
