Great chip, perfect for gamers, especially those on a budget - but with great overclocking features, if you wanted to squeeze a little more performance out of it - you have great options to d0 so!
Excellent overall performance, Noticeable upgrade over Haswell, Big jump in graphics performance, Slightly more power efficient than Haswell, Excellent overclocking options
Needs a new motherboard and memory, Expensive if you don't need the overclocking, Graphics still not good enough for serious gaming

Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...
If you're after a budget processor from Intel that can perform daily tasks with occasional gaming… then there's no question, the Intel Pentium G4560 is your answer. It's a dual core Kaby Lake with 4 threads at $65.00… what more do you want?! 1 2 3 4Sha...
Strong Single and Multi-threading Performance, Reasonable Price, Strong Overclocking Potential, Great Gaming Performance vs. Price
Minimal Upgrade from Haswell, More Expensive than Haswell
The Core i5 6600K is more evolutionary, than revolutionary. It follows up Broadwell and Haswell-E rather nicely though. The i5 6600K performs almost identically to our Haswell based i5 4670K in most tests. The new HD 530 graphics quite a bit more capable...
Performance is close to that of earlier-gen Core i7 chips on many tests, Simplified overclocking options, Chipset delivers more PCIe wiggle room for super-fast storage
Lacks Hyper-Threading, Like all "Skylake" chips, requires a new motherboard, Slightly higher TDP than previous-gen counterparts, Integrated graphics performance lags behind lower-priced AMD alternatives
Though limited to four cores/four threads, the Core i5-6600K is a strong pick for price-conscious performance hounds and future-looking gamers seeking a powerful CPU at a reasonable price. Read More…...
