wait for kaby lake?

[perry the platypus]

so Im gonna build a pc that ive slowly been changing parts to to get better performance for the price but then all of a sudden I hear about amd zen and intel 7th gen kaby lake. I just want to know if i should wait another month for the kaby lake or just get a 6700k i7

wait

KABY LAKE. its literally only a month

You're better served by waiting.  If what you have now is getting you through the day, no sense in rushing and possibly regretting your decision in another couple of months.

if it's a month, I'd say wait

Wait. The time isn't that long. You can also brag with your friend that you have newest architecture while your friend stuck at 6th gen skylake or some people like me are still 4th gen haswell

You could get a Z170 mobo now and wait for Kaby Lake, if it's worth it cool.

If its not, oh well. Skylake CPUs might be marked down a little.

At least that's my plan, I can't really afford the CPU right now. But I'm pretty sure I'm either going with an i7 6700K or i7 7700K.

Is Kaby going to be available soon?

Why dont you wait until the 10th generation of Intel comes out.

If you were asking about Ryzen vs. the Broadwell-E line then I would say just by the Intel chip now unless you are willing to wait five to six months for Ryzen to drop, the bugs to be worked out, and solid comparisons to be made.

 

Given that you are choosing between Skylake and Kabylake, I would probably wait the month or so for it to drop and make the informed decision at that point. You might want to look at getting everything but the CPU for the system in advance as they use the same motherboard socket and you know that the major board manufactures will drop BIOS updates to use the new chip day of launch/shortly thereafter.

am waiting for 8 or 10th gen i7, or when my cpu or motherboard dies.
