Gaming at what Hz? At 60Hz both of those CPU's is way more than you need for todays games. For 144Hz or more the 8700k is a bit better but the 7700k or 8600k do an excellent job. If money is not a problem and aiming for high Hz gaming the 8700k is the best choice but if you need to save a little money the 8600k would be my second choice.
