I am currently in the process of building a PC and was wondering what the best Skylake processor is for a gaming situations,

These are the processors I am currently considering

Intel core i3 6100
Intel core i5 6500
Intel core i5 6600k
Intel core i7 6700
Intel core I7 6700K

I am looking at the processor with the best performance as well as the best price for that performance, also i would like to hear from someone who has used one of these processors and hear their experience with it. Looking only at skylake chips however any information regarding older Haswell-E chips would be nice to have for comparison. Also if you know the cooler model you used and the temps that you got whilst using the chip with it i would greatly appreciate that info.

For gaming and if I read the question correctly, the 6600K (i5) is the best price to performance CPU, with about a 50% higher price the 6700K. While a great CPU, doesn't offer much of an improvement in gaming, particularly if OCing is thrown in. If thinking Price/performance, the 6600K comes out on top
Wow if you were to look like no sht it's 6700k. It can be compared to to the 5820k. Same performance , maybe more, but insignificant. As of the other Haswell E, they Apache lower single core performance compared to skylake, but TONS more multicore. Otherwise out of skylake is 6700k.
 

That is one very strange question: the 6700k is incontestably the fastest mainstream Intel CPU currently available when budget is a non-issue. Mileage varies if you throw in overclocking or consider more prosumer/workstation-class CPUs on LGA2011. The i3 and i5 are non-starters.
