Intel 6600K or AMD A10 7850K?

A bit of gaming... nothing too intensive though.
Realistically, I'd probably be looking at the occasional game of Project Cars @ 1080p.

If you've got the budget for a 6600K and you're going to be gaming, it's got to be Intel.
I've thought the 7850K is pretty great, as the onboard graphics are pretty strong. From a CPU perspective it's a fair bit behind any recent Intel offering.

What sort of workloads does your system handle? Game wise I mean I'm not a huge gamer, do most of that on an XB1.
They're very different beasts.
If your budget for CPU + GPU is less than about £150, an APU like the 7850K is the best option.
If your budget for CPU + GPU is over about £350, you should be looking at 6600K plus GPU.
In between there are a few ways to go, but £50-100 CPU (e.g. AMD 860K or i3-6100) plus low-mid-range GPU is usually the answer.
