Okay, so I'm not the best thread maker in the world, but it is what it is. I've decided to upgrade to the Kaby Lake series of intel processors. Trouble is, I can't really seem to find much more than "benchmarks" when it comes to comparing chips. The two I'm talking about specifically are the i5 7600k, and the i7 7700k. One is considerably cheaper, but the other seems to pack more punch from what I hear... too much info and very little consensus on which is the best CPU. So basically, I'm planning on upgrading my current rig over time to a more fitting one for 2017-and-beyond gaming.. but I'd like to build so that I may be able to run Star Citizen at 1080p @60fps minimum. So my choices are either getting an i5 7600k, or an i7 7700k. I'd like to know what you fellow Citizen would choose, and for what reasons. It'd definitely help me in making my choice. Appreciate any future responses. Also.... what would you say to using this as my motherboard? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HHbkcf/asus-maximus-ix-hero-atx-lga1151-motherboard-maximus-ix-hero Thanks. :blush:
