i7 6700K vs i5 6600K

1,123 Views

I'm currently in the process of building a PC and am trying to decide between i5 6600K and the i7 6700K. I do a fair amount of HD video editing(adobe suit and final cut pro) taken from gopro and phantom 3 quad-copter footage and my computer now can't even come close to handling the editing of 1040p-2.7k that I need. I do a little gaming, most CPU heavy game I use I'm pretty sure is world of warcraft. Will the i5 be enough before/after OC or should I go with the i7?
