Intel Core i5 6600K
The most dank CPU for gamers.
Gaming doesn't benefit from i7s. The very reason people bash i5s is the reason so many "gaming" PC manufacturers use the i7 in the first place. They use up all their budget on the i7 and then proceed to skimp on the graphics card and add a GeForce 220, resulting in an absolutely terribly-performing, plastic, and LED-encrusted machine. They know the first thing you'll be looking for is an i7 because that's what's advertised the most (and the rest of the machine suffers as a result). Don't fall for popular media - the Intel Core i5 6600K is one of the most solid, stable, and long-lasting chips money can buy. For multi core optimized software, streaming and rendering in general, the higher core/thread count on the FX 83xx and i7 series does matter however.
