I bought a new gaming rig
Z170-HD3p
Intel core 15 6600k
EVGA GTX 1070 SC
I'm kicking myself for not grabbing the i7 6700k when it was on sale
but for a 144hz gaming is the i7 a better choice as I still have a few days left to return the i5-
The difference in FPS you'd get between an i5 6600K and the i7 6700K would be negligible in most cases, and would most certainly not be worth the extra cost. The ability to run games at a steady 144Hz would really come down to your choice of GPU, the resolution you're running your games at, and how you have your in-game graphical settings configured. I wouldn't expect a GTX 1070 to be able to run most AAA games from 2016 at 1440P/144Hz at max settings, for example.
