any real reason I should upgrade to skylake over my current setup?? Also considering changing from sli 980's to a single 980Ti. Rig is mostly for gaming and I game on a 34inch ultrawide 3440 x 1440.

Parts I'm looking at are the 6700K (yes I know overkill for gaming) Gigabytes Z170 Gaming 7 and 16gb of Trident Z 3400. These are combo parts on newegg I really like the looks of the motherboard and can see it going well in my white enthoo luxe along with my white seasonic silent snow psu. The gpu I'm considering is the Asus 980Ti Posiden.


my current rig (in Sig)
Asus Rampage IV Black Edition
Intel 4930K
4x8GB Kingston Beast 1866MHz
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB
Asus Strix GTX980's in SLI
Custom water Cooled
Seasonic Silent Snow 1050W
Phantek Enthoo Luxe


 
Honest and truthfully, I'd stick with what you have fella the gains are minuscule moving to skylake for gaming not to mention the unnecessary cost, I know you'd recoup some of the cost by selling the older hardware but it's not really worth it.

I'd say play the long game and wait out this year and plan for 2017 or even 2018 for a major platform upgrade.
