Definitely wait until AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel release concrete plans/products for this year. Then you can pick and choose what you want for yourself. And it does seem as though AMD is getting back into the competition, and with quite a bang. If you wanted, you could build a whole new system in Q3 with Vega and Ryzen

NZXT Source 210 S210-001 But you should save your pennies and get a decent case. Spend a little more now and benefit a lot later

If I had ton of money, close to 10k, would this build be a good showcase of both my money and my knowledge, or is it something that looks like it's put together by a ten year old? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9yhyLD I added many extra parts because I have a Desk PC build planned, and if somehow I came across this kind of money, this what I would build into the desk. And it would destroy both the compensator 2.0 and Linus' desk PC combined

4790K is only $20 cheaper than 6700k. It might seem like an ok option for now, but better to spend a little extra now than to suffer a lot later. I'd say go for the 6700k. And @nerdslayer1 he has an intel chipset, he can't use an AMD chip.

You don't need the AiO Water Cooler if you aren't intensely overclocking. You don't need Corsair Dominator Platinum ram, get the cheapest branded ram in your specification. And i7 6700k is more than enough, and if you are only gaming on this thing, then even i5 6600k

Alright, here is my last attempt: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZX23sJ

When building a PC never think of in terms of "for now". It's a game of chess with hardware companies. Always think far ahead into the future. Better benefit a little now than to suffer a lot later

We know little to nothing about ryzen, and while Kaby Lake is a disappointment in terms of a new generation of intel chips, it carries over all benefits of skylake. But as I type this, I agree that kaby lake would be an unnecessary buy. i7 6700k more than enough. How about this, I make a PC part picker build for right now, and I'll try to fit your special case in.

Don't buy your build just yet. Wait a few months for the release of the GTX 1080ti and i7 Kaby Lake line of cpus. For that big of a budget, it's better to wait and make a better PC instead a bad one with little research done. I was just like you, I had a similar budget, and with little research, I went with completely unnecessary budget wasters until my dad scolded me and reduced the budget. I then went on a research spree for months! And honestly, I feel like the PC I built is the greatest price-to-performance build ever (probably not, but I'm saying my wait payed off). And as for

Read my updated post, I edited it.

Honestly, your current 270x is fine. No need for an upgrade if only those are your options
