i5 6600K +960 OR i5 6600 +970

[overlordofdoom]

hey, i would just like to know which one would be better, is it woth the overlocking potential of the 6600k over the 970 since i will be putting whatever i chose in sli, also i might just wait for the 1070 and 1060 by then the prices of the 6600 and 6600k will have gone down quite alot and how does the build look? thanks in advance

Take the build with the GTX 970 for sure. The i5-6600 will turbo to 3.9 Ghz. so you're almost at 4Ghz. already without overclocking.

For gaming the build with a 970 is definitely better.

yeah but will the 6600 be enough not to bottleneck sli 970?

^Yes

Bottleneck? Not an issue. Most games don't use all 4 cores and the Intel cpu's have the best core performance.
