Hi
I am going to build a skylake system. My usage would be some office work(documents), browsing, watching movies and gaming(my son).
I was thinking i7 6700k. Just now I came across i5 6600 which is only £155 on sale. I understand the difference between k and non k version. I don't think I would be overclocking. I know that on stock speed with turbo boost i5 6600 and i5 6600k will run at 3.9 ghz and i7 6700k will run at 4.2ghz.
So how much difference i7s 300mhz extra clock and 8mb i7 cache vs 6mb of i5 cache, would make on performance. Is extra £150 on i7 worth for me or not?
Budget is not a problem but I don't want to waste the money if there is not much benefit.
My gpu would be nvidia 980 or 980ti.
Thanks for any advice.
