6800K (x99) vs 6700k (z170) workstation build

[Big_Benni]

I am building a workstation which I will be using for video editing and graphic design (Adobe Suite), but I can't decide whether I should go with one or the other (it won't be used for gaming):

X99 build:
ASUS X99-DELUXE II - 470USD
6800K - 513USD
Combined: 986 USD

Z170 build:
ASUS z170-DELUXE - 325USD
6700K - 396 USD
Combined: 721USD

Difference: 265 USD

Does the X99 build justify the 265USD extra, or would I be getting approximately the same performance for the cheaper z170 build?

I will most likely be running the build with a single GTX 1070/1080 and 64gigs of DDR4.

Thanks

I just keep wondering if there will be a significant difference, or just slightly better performance. Slightly better is not worth the 265 extra dollars IMO.

What does it mean when people say that the extra cores would be better for video-editing? Are we talking about render times or performance within applications (Premiere/After Effects)? Rendering-wise, I don't bother waiting a couple of minutes extra. The important thing for me is performance while working within the applications. And if the difference only is slight, I would rather save the extra money.

According to this review, the 6700K has the edge:

Thoughts?

If you don't need lots of PCIE lanes then the z170 will work well. hardwarecanucks did a video recently on this exact topic. I recommend spending the extra money into a decent air cooler like the gammaxx 400 or a AIO water cooler and overclocking the 6700k a bit. That will get you similar performance for far less money. The remaining $200 or so will help with getting the 1080.

Hardwarecanucks video helped me decide. I am going with skylake. Thanks.
