Skylake Upgrade recommended in this situation?

Go to solution Solved by buddy_boyo,

Im not sure about that motherboard but usually 2600k overclocks very well, like 4.4 GHz, then the difference with skylake wont be that big to be honest.

This is a good video showing performance differences

 

Hello guys

 

So with the new Skylake platform also released in my country (Switzerland) I thought about upgrading my entire System. Except the graphics card. But I don't know if the upgrade would be worth it.

 

Here's my current system:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz

CPU-Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61

RAM: 8GB DDR3 

Motherboard: Intel DP67BG

Graphics card: Gigabyte GTX 970

Case: NZXT H440

 

I thought about upgrading to the following parts:

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K

RAM: HyperX Fury 2x 8GB

Motherboard: ASUS Z170-Deluxe

 

What do you think of this parts and would you classify this upgrade as useful?

 

I know that my 2600K is pretty good for overclocking. Maybe I should consider this oppurtinity aswell?

 

 

Thanks for your answers in advance, would love to hear some inputs.

Is haswell cheaper? or an x99 build cheaper?

so you can get like a 390x or a 980 with the extra money?

 

No Haswell would be more expensive and also I don't like the 2011-3 socket.
