Hey guys i have a question and i would like to hear your opinion. Thank you in advance for reading this thread and your time.

Iam thinking currently from my i7 2600K and 670GTX to either skylake 6700K or wait and buy X99 with either 6850K or 6800K

The question is. Is it worth waiting for an upgrade to i7 6800/ i7 6850K which will be release aproximately in June 2016 (Computex) or just go for a i7 6700K.
Yes i know that this will only cause more and more question since these processors havent been realeased yet.

And we dont know how well will they stand head to head to each otherand what performance will they deliver like (temps,overclocks,benching,gaming,rendering... etc)
I just want your honest opinion what you think about it.

Do you need anything at all x99 offers that z170 doesnt? If not then no. Dont wait, just go with the 6700k or even 6600k.
 
Yeah i guess i7 6700K seems to be king at the moment if i pair it up with 980gtx ti i should be alright. Also i think there isnt going to be much performance boost of 6800K/6850K and also x99 platform is way more expensive than z170 at the moment.
 
Take it from me, for the money if you aren't using your rig as a work station don't go x99 over Skylake. save your money.
