i5-6400 or i5-6500?

[Charlise]

Direct to the point. Is it more worth to buy an i5-6500 over an i5-6400? Is the extra bucks worth the extra clock speed for gaming? Thanks!

6500 is clocked 10% higher and costs 10% more. I'd argue "neither", since 7xxx CPUs are out. The i5 7400 costs about the same as the 6400 and is clocked about the same as the 6500.
