Firstly apologies because im sure this question has been asked here a bunch, but I was wondering weather Its worth waiting for the i7-8700k or if I should just go with the 7700k
This would be the system:

The system is pretty much just for gaming.
So yea, pccg are expecting more shipments in early November, so I was wondering what the likelihood of me being able to grab one is? Whether they'll sell out instantly and if I should just go with the 7700k and save the $181 AUD.
