Gtx 1070 i5 6600k??

[Omar_38]

So will the core i5 6600k bottleneck the gtx 1070?? Monitor is AOC 1080p 144 hz 1 ms gsync. Or would it be better to just get the i7 6700k? I don't game but I use music software that has a lot heavy graphics applications. I just want that smooth fps to be honest. I'm also Tryna save money because I'm not rich.

6600k will be just fine.

Really the only advantage to the i7 when running a single graphics card is slightly higher minimum frame rates. The i5 generally has slightly higher maximum frame rates. The i7 is a better long term choice though and it will age better than an i5. Either are fully capable of maxing the newest games.

Is there a huge difference in performance between the i5 6600k and the i7 6700k?

Here are some comparisons.

The WCCFTech article is the better of the two and compares minimum and maximum frame rates.
