Hmm i think ill stick with the asus hero. But i gonna wait the next month out. I think i couldnt live waiting while allready paid for it ..lol

I'll stick with my 6300 until I see something worth spending $300+ Skylake was not all that impressing to me.

Your lack of faith in turnips is disturbing . And probably not for a long time. I don't render, don't hold servers, till games require multi threading or simply more horses than my current cpu can give I belive my 4670k shall suffice.

That's because there is little improvements over its predecessors. We'll have to wait for Zen to see if it's impressive. The impressive things in tech was the when Intel introduced its core 2 duo and nvidia with its 8800gt.

Zen is predicted to perform at around the level of Haswell, so why would you wait for it?

Im OK with skylake, no gamechanger but honestly alot more improvements then expected. Older gens had similar performance increases but without changing system Standards. So we've got our low performance boost + high igpu boost from haswell + ddr4 + m.2 support + 20board pci-e lanes + bclk oc and alot of other cool z170 board specific features. And all this with less power consumption and smaller architecture. Thats quite alot. Its sad skylake isnt easy capable of 5ghz oc's and that it isnt soldered but besides that its pretty cool. I cant really understand the hate against it. Massive shitstorm happened on ltt for no good reasons...
