Should I upgrade to the Intel Core i5 7500?

[CluelessLorand]

I am currently looking at an Intel Core i5 7500 for my new gaming rig, however, I've just found out that the Intel Core i5 7600 is only marginally cheaper and still offers some performance boosts, however, all articles/YouTube videos that are suggested to me talk about the 7600k. Is the roughly $30 price increase worth it to go from the 7500 to the 7600 or should I stick with the 7500 or go for the 7600K? I do not plan to do any overclocking on any of my PC parts. Thanks.

Going to the i5-7600K will net you about a 18% increase in performance, little of which will show up in gaming. Is that worth $30 to you? Since you don't OC, there is no need for the unlocked multiplier you are paying more for with the "K" version.
