Since most games currently use only one thread, the performance is nearly equal between the two. Unless you are running other programs that are multi threaded, you won't see a noticeable gain in performance.

do you think games will soon start to need hyper threating ?

There are a couple of games now, and I'm sure developers have more in the works with DX12, but it won't happen overnight.

so its not worth getting i5 6600k because it wont last enough ?

what im thinking i have GPU RADEON R9 280X 3GB / PSU GS600 Corsair so i will keep both of them,

for now im planning on buying this

i5 6600K CPU =265Euro
MSI Z170A GAMING M3 = 160 Euro
RAM Kingstone 2400Mhz DDR4 16GB = 104E

i wanted i7 6700k but it 200+ euro cant afford it

No, it definitely worth it to get the i5. If gaming is generally all you do, you don't need an i7.
