He want it for gaming so is our option1 (4690k, gtx970),

or option2 (http://www.multicom.no/multicom-lhara-i831s-fatal1ty-killer/cat-p/c100583/p10631749)

Is skylake worth the prize? And does it perform better for gaming?

if it is between X99 and Z170 i would pick the X99 any day. with very little amount of cash difference i would pick a whopping 7 MB of cache difference and 2 extra cores between the entry level X99 chip 5820K vs the 6700K

 

entry level X99 is better than high end Z170 and will retain more value once you decide to sell i guess
