i7-6700K + GTX 1060 (6GB) or i5-6600K + GTX 1070 (8GB)

[Tuff-Gong]

Which combination would you guys suggest?

[mova]

I5 6600k with Gtx 1070

[Meurock460]

The i5 is more than enough for games, so the 6600k + GTX 1070 would be the much better option.

Unless you plan on streaming or do lots of video editing, in which case the i7 can be useful.

Neither, because actual usage and intended scaling is missing.

Personally i'd go for the i7 & 1060, doesn't mean you should as well. See the problem?

i5 + 1070 for gaming.

2nd would be ideal

BUT, if you can save up for the i7 and the 1070, that would be a great option.

[Beardface31]

I would go with the i5 and GTX 1070 as well.

What resolution will you be playing at?

[Generation X SMURF]

1080

If the OP is asking for one or the other, obviously that means the 1080 is over the budget.

Not if he gets a lower CPU :) I cant type the letters you will all jump on me faster then I would jump on a Marylin. YEah just get a previous gen I5 or something lol

Whats the point of getting a 1080 if hes forced to get something below the 6600k?
That doesnt sound logical to me.

Err as long as below the 6600k ca hold his fps that is desired the 1080 will allow better fps then the lower cards, I think thats logical.

Depends.... I7 6700k you will be able to have a nice streaming experience but you are cutting preformance you can stretch 100$ more get the gtx 1070 and the I7 6700k. is only recommend the I7 6700k if you plan on streaming games otherwise save your money

[Alexalmighty]

6600k and 1070

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

I recommend the 2nd options as everyone else. 6600k and GTX 1070. You will please with this combo for sure, for gaming.

You mean a used gen 2 i5 right? To make up for the $200 gap from the 1070 to 1080.

IMO 1080 are pointless if you don't plan to get 1440 144hz monitor, and CPU that won't be bottlenecking it.

........ I dont see how video makes a monitor pointless, in fact Id only get a high end intel with 144 or 240 hz monitor

But zen is around the corner, I dont need to switch to the dark side. :D
