7700k VS 6850K Feedback please on whats better for ME.

Hey all! Title basically says it! I'm 80% gamer and 20% photographer. I use Photoshop and Lightroom to do my editing!! I use to make youtube videos but I don't really see myself doing that in the future anymore. The photography is almost more then a hobby at this point. I'll be running a M2. Storage AND an SSD.. So basically the question is.. what CPU is better for me? Is the 6850k worth it just for using photoshop/lightoom? Also, I love multitasking!! So maybe 1-2 games running and a couple of open tabs/music going on, ( two monitors ) any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

If it's more of a hobby, get the 7700k. It's very capable and, with gpu acceleration, is faster then the 6850k in most adobe suite programs. Photoshop and lightroom are pretty light tasks for the most part

Get a 6800k or a 7700k the 6850 doesn't make a y sense as all you get are more PCI lanes
