Which PC build is better? help me decide please

[PeterSa]

Hello, I'm building a new PC on Thursday. But still cant decide which parts to get. I have two options;

Intel Core i7-6700K
Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P Motherboard
Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (Or MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X)
8GB DDR4 RAM
500W PSU
WD10EZEX 1TB Hard Drive

-----------------------------

Intel Core i5-6600K
Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P
Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (or Founders Edition)
8GB DDR4 RAM
500W PSU
WD10EZEX 1TB Hard Drive

Which build is better?
I play games such as Battlefield, 3, 4, Hardline, and Battlefield 1
The minimum system requirements for BF1 ask for an i5-6600K processor.

The i5 + GTX1070 is vastly superior to the i7 + GTX1060 build for gaming.

The 6600k with the 1070 will be better for gaming. I have a feeling those system specs are a bit blown out of proportion. It's just a little odd that their minimum recommended ranges from an FX6350 (which is essentially equivalent to an i3 6100) to an i5 6600k... Which would blow the 6350 out of the water. If they're "recommending" an FX8350, an i5 will be fine. I understand their recommendations given that AMD has not put anything else out in the last 5 years--but a 6600k beats an 8350 in nearly, if not, everything.

I'd go for the i5 build since the i7 isn't as big an increase over the i5 as the 1070 is over the 1060, IMO. I'm using a Ivy Bridge i5 and haven't had any issue so the i5 Skylake should handle anything you are gaming in and you have a killer GPU in the 1070.
