I m planning to build a PC for my vray render, adobe after effects, maya, blender, realflow,etc and ofcourse gaming. With which one should i go with

i7 7700 with 16gb ddr4 memory

Or

i7 7700k with 16gb ddr4 memory.

I also want to know that do i need to overclock for 3d render so I don't end up in buying an expensive k processor along with a cpu cooler

To take advantage of the 7700K you're also going to need a Z170 or Z270 motherboard, an aftermarket CPU cooler and a quality PSU. Without those, you won't be overclocking.

If you're happy to spend extra money on the above and invest some time in learning how to overclock, then the 7700K is certainly the better choice.

or see a good processor for ur budget in the future marking list, which i share URL link for u. AMD ryzen x1800 is the top 2 place in the list little costly but perform well than i7 7700k. ( just a advance)

You seem to be from India. Climate is warm in India.

I suggest you get a Core i7 7700. It is 2 to 3 percent slow compared to Core i7 7700k in gaming which won't be noticeable.

Since this is a 65W CPU so all cores easily run at 4 GHz all the time.

You don't need to overclock. The difference between these CPUs in Rendering is not worth the extra money spent for a 7700K + high end CPU cooler

Yeah, that's with a large overclock though. You need to learn more about processors if you don't know that about K series cpus.

Yes, but it also requires you to buy a more expensive overclocking motherboard, a more expensive overclocking CPU cooler, and a more expensive overclocking CPU.

You're both in india where it's fairly hot so you'll have a much harder time dissipating the extra heat generated by the computer.

I think you are mistaking. Have you ever worked with 3D content creation software or render farms?

Those software are highly multithreaded. The more Core or CPUs you have, the better. This is why a Ryzen beats Core i7 7700k in 3D rendering and content creation.

In your comparison you forget that there is a 1 GHz overclock and that required addition items which costs money. You will require a 240mm Liquid Cooling Kit easily followed by fast RAM and a motherboard to go along with it. Not everyone on the internet has unlimited budget.

Gaming on the other hand right now does not need that many cores as current games are optimized with 4 C-4T (due to majority or market share) in mind and then some games scale to 8T. Clock speed on the other hand will help games but the performance difference between these two CPU is not big enough to justify paying the extra money.

OP will not save 60 seconds in rendering. At best, he will save 15 seconds with an overclock Core i7 7700k over Core i7700.

Correct.

Ambient temperature can reach upto 32C in India if your room is not well ventilated or cooled. On top of that usually people keep their PC under the table which further restricts air flow.

Since things are pretty costly in India, buying items with more value for money is always preferred. In that sense a Core i7 7700 fits better for OP's needs.
