hi everyone so i'm having a tough time figuring out if it is worth to have an i7 6700 with a weak motherboard (MSI H110M-Pro) over an i5 7600K with a MSI B250 Bazouka , i'll mainly do gaming and probably streaming too
ps : i'll have a GTX 1060 6GB regardless of the build and i'm looking for a the option that'll last longer and will guarantee good enough performances in the future
 
Well, if you are looking into the future you may want to think about a MB with a Z270 chipset instead of the B250.

You are already thinking about the 15 7600K that is unlocked so to even think about getting all you can out of it you will need a Z270 chipset MB.

Yes exactly which really makes it a tough decision , what would you choose if it was up to you ?
 


If you are sticking with that B250 motherboard choose the I7, given a choice always pick an I7 over an I5.

If you can swing it get the I7 6700K, it will run MUCH faster at stock than the I7 6700.
