You're considering upgrading from an i5-4670K to an i7-6700K. It depends on your needs—your GTX 1060 and 3GB RAM should handle the upgrade smoothly. If you plan heavier workloads or future-proofing, the performance boost might be worth it.
Upgrading to a 6700K wouldn’t make much sense unless you received it along with a suitable motherboard at no cost. Consider purchasing an i7-4770/4790 if possible, or opt for a solid B450 board such as the MSI B450M-PRO VDH MAX, paired with either a Ryzen 1600AF or the forthcoming 3300X. For the 1600AF or 3600MHz variants, add 3000MHz memory if you’re budget-conscious.
I'm buying it as a bundle off of fb marketplace, this is what the bundle is listed as. " Motherboard i7 6700k cpu 516gb nvme m.2 Cpu cooler Selling as bundle 500$ Works good" i've asked him what kind of motherboard, waiting for a response
only if you manage to locate an extremely inexpensive motherboard would be worthwhile. otherwise, consider pairing it with a Ryzen 3600X and high-speed RAM, a 3200MHz CL34 or 3600MHz CL16 processor.
there's no way i'd buy that for $500 (US dollars, I'm assuming). for $500 you can buy: $175 Ryzen 5 3600 $50 air cooler of your choice (or not, up to you if you intend to overclock) $100 B450 of your choice $80 16GB RAM 3600 kit of your choice $80 500gb NVME drive of your choice with enough left over for beer
