Is Skylake worth it?

[Bombfish]

I have been thinking to get skylake, but I dont know is it worth the extra cost. Here it costs about 100€ more to get a skylake cpu, mobo and ram.

What do you think?

Also, the board needs to be mAtx and there isnt really any Z170 mAtx boards

not right now no

Just stick with a 4690k/4790k and spend the extra money on a nicer PGU.

Not at the present moment.

Worth is subjective. I know i'm having a ton of fun with it right now, overclocking a Pentium G4400 and DDR4. DDR4 overclocking is a breeze, and i am at the point where even my latency is lower than DDR3. As far as costs go, it's not much higher than Haswell (DDR4 has dropped so low, you can find 8gb kits for $45 easily) and CPU cost is only high because supply is low. Board prices are also identical to Z97, at least here in the US. A friend of mine from Estonia showed me just how bad the price difference can be where he is from x.x

 

Also, there are quite a few mATX boards out right now. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#c=110&f=7&L=4

yes it is worth it..cause then you get some of the newer features

and you get a upgrade path as well

And just so everyone knows, It is going to be a new build and not an upgrade an I am from finland so I need to order parts from Germany becouse its cheaper. Caseking doesnt have that many mobos

[MegaDave91]

It can for those who require many add-in cards, for example.

Thanks you all for replying:)

I will have to think about this a while, becouse it would be my first build and I dont want everything to go wrong (I am not saying that 4690k would be a catastrophy) I just need the upgrade path for future.

if you are upgrading, its not really worth it. if its your first build. I would go for it. I am
