I7 6700k vs i7 7700k

[SuperFlower]

I need some advice. Should i get the i7 6700k in 1 week or should i wait for i7 7700k? 

I already have a msi gtx 1070 gaming x, 500w 80+ psu, samsung 250gb ssd, nzxt s340 and a 29 inch screen (2560x1080).

the 7700k is more or less just a refresh. Like the 4770k and 4790k. The is a tiny architectural improvement, but most the the performance will come from an increased clock speed, but it's unlocked anyways. You might be able to reach higher overclocks though. You can wait if want.

it´s literally the same CPU, the i7 7700k is just  on a improved 14nm process and has a 200MHz higher frequency... so, if the 6700k is cheaper, you should get it.

I'd get the current i7, I never wait for hardware unless it's a gpu. Because if you wait for the latest hardware your going to wait forever, theres always going to be something new coming out.

Depends how long you want to wait.

You can wait if you know the prices are gonna go down after the new gen, getting the 6700K for cheaper or a Zen CPU.

Yeah alot of the same generation and even next generation CPU, like the Kabylake will be a very small improvement so just get whats available now.
