First PC build, processor

[ravensj15]

I was looking for an intel processor (i7) and came across an i7 6700 for $279, is this a good deal? This would be my first PC build, I don't know much about processors.

That's a pretty standard price. If you're going for a gaming rig, just pick up an i5-6600k and put the extra bit of money into something else (probably GPU.)
