8600k vs 6700k ?? what should i get ?? i mainly play games at 1080p

It's a good question, 6 physical cores vs 4 physical cores + 4 logical (Hyperthreading)

Physical cores do beat logical but the extra 2 threads will come in handy in some games. Games that don't fair well with Hyperthreading the 6 core 8600k will beat. Games that do support Hyperthreading the 6700k will have an edge.

Why not go for the 8700k? Will certainly last longer than either, a lot longer.

here in india 8700k is 10k ( 150 usd ) more than 8600k so thinking btw getting 6700k + maximus viii hero, it's 8k( 120 usd ) lesser than 8600k + asrock gaming k6 so i guess getting the 6700k is a better deal what's ur opinion ??

Depends if you plan on upgrading to a 8700K or not

don't know check few videos on youtube :3 fps r nearly almost same though but is it really matter to invest 270 usd more for 10-15 fps ??

I second LordVile's opinion. 8600k will be pretty much equal to the 6700k but the platform 8600k uses will leave you open to upgrades in a couple years when needed.

true that. but was thinking to upgrade to canon lake once it release. that's why asking is spending 270 usd extra worth it for only game ??

Going on intel and how rushed coffeelake was I'm not sure it would even be compatible plus the 10nm chips have been pushed back again. the 6700K is basically a 7700K with a lower clock which can be altered and is still a beast of a chip for gaming.

Can't go wrong with either platform you've suggested, both will run well for a good 2 years maybe more. Intel are having trouble with their 10nm nodes so for the moment the release of canon lake has been suspended.

8700k is an excellent processor and could probably pick one up second hand later. Would be wiser to go 8600k and have opportunities.

The 8600K is better all the way.
