Hello all,
I know this has been done a few times but I would like the best advice as to what to get. Best value for performance.
I am thinking to get a i5 6600k or i7 6700 non k with msi z170 Gaming Pro Carbon with DDR4 2666.
I would use it for movies, music, browsing online, a lot of gaming and few programmes when needed for work. I am a test analyst so Some of the programmes are QTP, Selenium, quality center 12. With these programmes I would run scripts to test web pages.
Currently I use my i3 2100 which isn't bad. It actual runs quicker than my laptop given to me from work. I don't use my i3 all that much for work. I have noticed that the i3 2100 does struggle with some modern titles. I am thinking to go with the i5 6600k as I game more then I do work on it. Whenever I run my scripts I usually don't do anything much else on the pc, maybe watch a movie while the scripts run. I hardly multitask. So which cpu would you recommend and why. Please provide me with much detail as possible. Appreciate any feedback guys.
