6700 or 6700K

[Drag0n_YT]

I do not plan on overclocking my CPU so i don't think i need the 6700K because I would have to pay $80 more. Someone told me that the K processor is for overclocking and I would not need if I won't overclock.

K stands for overclockable but the 6700K has default clock at 4GHz and the regular 3.4GHz so out of the box the 6700K is between 15-20% faster.

The K means the multiplier is unlocked. but technically all the Skylakes are overclockable.

I have never really understood what the difference between GHz changes, could you explain a little?

It is basically how many Cycles the CPU can run in a sec. The more cycles the more computing it can do.
