Guys, this summer, I want to start investing in a DDR4 system. But I don't know if it is the right season to think about buying DDR4 Dimms, Motherboards and CPUs. Because nowadays, they cost a lot of money and there is a small variety of CPUs and Motherboards. For example, there is only one kind of CPUs that support DDR4 Memories and is the CPUs with 2011-3 Socket... and the result is that you can buy only motherboards with the specific sokcet. In conclusion, I don't know when I should start and spend my money in a system with DDR4 Memory and I want to tell me when I can make thoughts about it and start make it happen.

Thank you!  :)

You might go for the last generation if your needs arent too great. X79 + DDR3. Probably not.. but.. just an idea.

You could wait for skylake and socket 1151, that should support DDR4, should be out somewhere after summer.

I think Linus mentioned Summer 2016 on the WAN in Japan show
