which processor to get

[SM4K Maverick]

I am planning to get my second pc, I am debating between i5 7600k and the i7 6700k due to cost. paired with a gtx 1060 will this affect my games such as csgo SoM and possibly arma 2

How about an i7 7700? Overall it would be cheaper and faster than a 7600K machine, due to the latter's increased motherboard and cooler costs. Overclocking generally only nets you a few percent increase anyway.

I5-7600K with an overclock is as good as it gets for strong single thread performance.
That is what your games need most.
The I7 hyperthreads will go largely unused; few games can effectively use more than 2-3 threads.
As of 1/13/17
What percent of samples can get an overclock
at a vcore around 1.4v.
I5-7600K
5.1 28%
5.0 52%
4.9 72%

6700k is not likely to clock as high:
4.9 5%
4.8 21%
4.7 64%
4.6 96%

I am on a budget of 1100 so I think an i7 7700k would be a little pricy so if u want can u give me an example, also what do you mean by latter

What cooler would I need to overclock to that speed?
