Spec me CPU, MB & RAM combo

[Lt. Manlove]

Looking to upgrade my core parts and thinking i7 6700k and minimum 16 GB but I'm a little out of date with the latest chipsets so looking for some advice.

Maximum budget is about £500-600

What purpose are we speccing for mate? Gaming, media creation etc?
