I'll check BF1 after downloading the Beta. I've got a 6600 non-K and a Strix 480, so I'll let you know if I recall anything from this thread.
It seems there could be a mistake in EA's statement. If the i5 6600K was just launched, it likely doesn't meet the minimum specifications.
The 6400 should handle the task well. System specs often seem confusing to someone unfamiliar with processor differences between i5-6400 and i5-6600K. For example, BF1 mentions needing an i5-6600K or FX-6350, which are quite different in cost and performance despite being presented as alternatives. It appears they took isolated price lists from Intel and AMD and combined them roughly. Many believe any recent i5 or even i3 will work fine for the game.
