Thanks for the information. I considered the i7-8700k but it's way out of my budget as the i7-8700 itself is on the edge. It should last a little longer, but I think the i7-7700k will also last a lot of time. I'm gonna wait to see if i can get a good deal for the 8700 otherwise I'll just get...

Yeah as I mentioned getting a i7-8700 would cost $100 more in total because of the motherboard It's being a hard choice for me but I think both of them are fine.

Thanks for the information. I'm pretty sure I have some watts to spare since i only have a GTX1060, 2x8GB 2400Mhz RAM, 2 HDs, headset, keyboard and mouse attached to it. (No rgbs or any kind of lights).

I should update the bios with my i5-6400 without any problems. Both the i7-6700 and i7-7700 are more expensive than the i7-7700k on my local store so if I don't get this one I'll just pick the i7-8700.

Thanks for the information. My psu is a budget one with a 80+ certificate, however i didn't made the 480W assumption based on that, I actually tested it on my University's lab. I regret buying the i5-6400 two years ago as a budget option, it's always been bottlenecking my 1060. Should have...

Thanks for attention. I also have a GTX 1060 6GB, but the i5-6400's bottlenecking her a lot so i definitely need a upgrade. I think the i7-7700k will do fine since a lot of famous streamers use it. I will buy as long I'm certain my motherboard will handle it.

Thanks for the attention. The airflow in my case is pretty decent, it's why the i5-6400 stays only at 35C on maximum load. The 7700k is open box on microcenter.

Thanks for the attention. I see some famous streamers using the i7-7700k whilst playing 144hz games and above so I think it should be fine. However, now that you mentioned the power usage I got a little worried, I have a 600W power source that effectively delivers 480W(80%-tested). If i get...

Thank you for the attention. I don't have problems with reinstalling my OS or updating the bios. My only concern is my old motherboard being able to handle the i7-7700k, if it can, then I'll just buy it and use the $100 on something else

So I'm looking to upgrade my cpu and I want you guy's opnion on this. I currently have: i5-6400 gigabyte ga-h110m-h motherboard https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-H-rev-10#ov I'm choosing between: i7-8700 + B360M-D3H for a total of $360...
