i5 8600k VS i7 8700k and general questions about Cpu usage - Trusty McLegit - 06-01-2018

So I'm looking to upgrade my cpu in the near future, and was wondering weather or not there would be much difference in performance between the i5 8600k VS i7 8700k for Rpcs3. 

Also, which aspect of a cpu is more important for rpcs3, for example core speed, core count, hyperthreading, etc. 

Finally, if I can run a game at full speed at native resolution, bumping it up to 4k would only add strain to my gpu, not my cpu, correct?
