[abraralamgir]

Currently i am running core i7 3960X and planning to build new system for that two CPU are avaiable in the market i.e 6900K, 6850K 6800K and 7700K which one is best for gaming.
Kindly give us suggestion which one to purchase.

The 7700K is the best gaming CPU. It has the highest clock speed. Four physical cores will handle anything now.

Get the i7 7700K.

For gaming, you want single threaded performance and great quad core performance. The 7700K is second to none for gaming in these aspects, making it the best CPU for your usage.

Literally any of them will crush any game on the market today and the foreseeable future if you overclock them and pair with a good GPU. If you pair these with a GTX 1060 then they'll all probably game about the same due to the middle of the road GPU.

If you're looking for a better long term investment I'd go with a 6850K and X99 if you can afford it and you think the additional PCIe lanes will benefit you. It would be a more logical upgrade to what you have today with a 6-core enthusiast CPU. That said, if you're really just gaming on the machine and not really going to benefit from the additional processing capability of the 6 or 8 core CPUs today or until you think you'll next upgrade, then the 7700K makes sense. Granted, the 6800K would be better if it can support your PCIe needs.

If I had that 3960x, I do not upgrade until some years.....

That processor ONLY need overclock, it have much power yet.

Overclock that cpu, and, why ever jump off the boat from core extreme processors? Just sell and grab a new extreme and overclock it, those beast are powerfull enough to defeat a core i7 7700k, even the 5820k, oc it to 4,5 ghz and u will have better performance than 7700k oced to 5 ghz, and better multi core speed, a six core cpu is a perfect balance of gaming and multi core power.
