Upgrading CPU from AMD to Intel

[Kankkunen]

I've been running with fx8350 and 99fx mobo for while now and the lack of single core performance is starting to be burden in some games that i play (for example arma3/world of tanks). My plans are to upgrade to Intel as they seem to have alot better single core performance and would fit my needs better.

Right now i have eyes on i5-6600K with Asus Z170 mobo but im all open for suggestions and pretty much want to hear more opinions on this matter!

Yes that combo will work well for your needs.

Sounds perfect. A 6700K is basically your only other real choice, but for today's games the i5 is plenty.
