would this be better for gaming than an i7 7700k?

In real terms the difference is insignificant, invest in a decent graphics card like a 1070ti or better - if your already running titan or sli, then you might notice a few frames on a benchmark, but not in real terms gameplay.

Will the corsair h100i cpu cooler work with this?

With Water coolers it is more about compatibility with your case (size wise) and motherboard that you would have to think about. The processor will simply fit into the motherboard slot and take any cooling solution that is compatible with the motherboard and case. Having said that though you probably won't need water cooling with that processor a high grade fan cooler would probably do. If you want to have a compatible build I would suggest using PC part picker. If you google that web page you can slot in your hardware into the available fields and it will tell you if they are compatible with each other.

Does it work in a 7th gen motherboard or would i have to buy the standard i5

Hi, This doesn't work with a 7th gen motherboard. You would need an 8th gen specific motherboard for this CPU to be compatible. Thanks, Ebuyer Tech Support
