Hi there. I was looking at getting an I7 6700k for my new gaming rig that I'll get soon when the money comes in. However with the amount of money coming in that might be a tad steep in price. So I was looking at an I5 6600k, but after looking at some game requirements Forza, which yes is the most demanding game I have seen so far (horizon 3), recommends an I7 4790 which seems to benchmark not too much less than the 6600k based on userbenchmark.com. Also game debate recommends the I5 6600k for battlefield 1. I can cut some corners to afford the I7 6700k possibly as long as the motherboard for it isn't also a lot steeper. Like I'm selling my current machine but the buyer has a new 500GB hd so I could just let her use that and keep my two 1TB hd's for now instead of buying new with that. Also don't really need an aftermarket cooler nor do I need a DVD drive right away, mind you those are $25. Anyways I'm in Canada so what do you recommend so it's good for a few years with overclocking? While being budget friendly? Thanks. I also use Ableton live a bit so a good processor for that wouldn't hurt either, but gaming is a much higher priority. Also wondering if I could get the I7 6700k on this motherboard. Thanks.
here's what I have so far:
