Depends on your price range, for a low price range this one would be sufficient: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-587-in.html
But if your price doesn't really matter then this is one of the best skylake CPUS: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...e-socket-lga1151-processor-oem-cp-582-in.html
Hope this helps you!
This CPU's a very good choice for your price range, hope this helps!

What's your GPU? Motherboard? And budget?
I wish people list out what they have in their rig before saying "Hey I need a CPU, what should I get?" Hardware isn't just a simple "pop in that and all set" kind of a thing.

Sorry, I just ordered the Asus z170a motherboard and I got the gtx 970 ssc
Cool man, these are two very good PC components so you should have no problems with them!
BTW, you've still not fixed your subscribe button. Click the link above for the full guide on how to fix it.
Hope there are no problems with your components! Good luck! ~Piano Uncovered
Great! What's your budget as of right now? And what kind of stuff you wish to do? Just gaming? Gaming + some video editing? 3D modeling?
I got a budget of 200-250 as I said before and I mainly need it to game maube some livestreaming and editing
i5 - 6600k would be the best choice ^^
You could go with AMD if you want but that'll mean higher power usage and heat output, but slightly better performance. However I'd stick with the i5 - 6600k. This is compatible with your motherboard and fits within your budget mostly $230 I've been noticing while looking around.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I thought the same haha, just thought maybe there's something better that I've missed
Honestly I'd wait a bit for the new Ryzen 5 Chips to come out (April 11th ish) before deciding on what to go with as most of them will fit your budget and may offer better performance and all of them can be overclocked with the right motherboard. yea you may need a new motherboard to go with it but from what Ryzen 7 has done so far it could be worth it. Even if you don't the Intel ones may drop down in price giving you a batter CPU for your money.
i7 6700 is amazing[DOUBLEPOST=1490048305][/DOUBLEPOST]
WHY would you ever buy an amd cpu, intel is much better.

cough, cough.... was, Ryzen has levelled the playing field in the CPU market. also a I7 6700 is a bit over the OP's budget.
