Currently I'm running an i7-6700 on a Gigabyte B250M motherboard.
I have been using my PC to transcode Linux ISOs from h264 to h265 but while the GPU does the heavy lifting for encoding the CPU does the decoding in Handbrake and my CPU is pegged at 100%.
I also do web development and some gaming, but I'm running a GTX1050 so the CPU isn't a bottleneck here although I do want to buy a new GPU when things go back to normal although it might take a while.
I'm trying to decide whether it's going to make any difference upgrading to an i7-7700k or I should just wait a few months and buy a new motherboard and buy a new 12th gen CPU. the 7700k is cheaper for now but I think replacing the entire platform is more reasonable long-term given that the 7700k isn't that much better than my 6700.
