Hi guys,

I need to choose between the following desktop rigs (both for the same price):
*I don't have plans on doing overclock and I will use it for CS:GO only (I've heard that this specific game has something to do with specific CPU types in terms of performance difference?)
The game will be played on a 144hz monitor + 1080P (Full HD) resolution.

1)
I7-4820K
GTX1070
16GB RAM
----------------------------
2)
I7-6700K
GTX960
16GB RAM


Will appreciate any help or insights on that, so I will be able to go and pick one of them.
 
i7 4820K+GTX 1070 all the way; even if it was a 7700K+GTX 960 I would still do it. Processor performance in ganes hasn't improved much; case and point, my old i7 960/12GB 1400Mhz RAM/GTX 980Ti beats my i7 6700/16GB 2133Mhz/GTX 1070, i7 6820HK/32GB 2400Mhz/GTX 1070, i5 6600K/16GB 2400Mhz/390X, i7 3930K/16GB 1600Mhz/GTX 1060 6GB when it comes to games.
