from completed build I See What Hue Did There...
I love this processor. It's a beast compared to what I came from. I haven't seen this thing go over 60% load for any of my games yet. I started out wanting the 6700K, but the price was just too steep, and I didn't really need the added power anyway.

from completed build Vision of a Lion ( First Build )
Solid and does not compromise with the performance. i5-6600K definitely was enough for my build. Glad I managed to buy this combo with the motherboard which saved me heaps.

from completed build Sleek Build
For me it is perfect, I built this PC to play new gaming titles which so far this processor has killed along with more than enough power for my rendering needs.

from completed build Now That's What I Call Skylake!
A nice skylake chip, overclocked to 4.2GHz for daily use. I was planning to get a 6700K, but the price of 6700K was ridiculously high.
This PC is mainly used for gaming so this processer is good enough. There is not much difference in gaming between my X99 system.

from completed build Tölva
i invest a lot time to choose a cpu and i end up with this one. all i need for my use and a bit more. in my case not worth it to go with 6700K and i am happy with the performance.

from completed build Project: Azure
I always dreamed of getting the top end i5 unlocked version since i started playing around with computers. Although it works very well, sometimes the 4 cores and 4 threads just aren't enough. When you're streaming, watching youtube and playing games all at the same time. However I still love how fast this thing runs.
