6600k vs 3770k

To be paired with a 1070 and 16gb ddr3/4 for 1440p

You can't use ddr4 with 3370k. Both will be fine

Depends on what you're doing and how cheap you can get the motherboard now. Those old ones can get pretty pricey

The whole build will cost the same, as ram is cheaper when ddr3

Not by much, at least not here in the states. Definitely not that different, is it?

Here in the UK the difference is negligible

if you already HAVE a 3770k , then upgrading to skylake isn't worth it imo . However , if this is for a new build , get the i5 6600k .

But i would still wait for ryzen considering it seems to be less than a month away.

will ryzen be less than 350 pounds with a motherboard cpu- that will outperform a 6600k and 16gb ram?

If not I'd rather get a decent skylake setup

we have no idea . 4-6 core SKU's with SMT might

But intel prices will go down all the same

k thx for the info prob going 2 go for a 6600k unless we get vital info next month

If you already have a mobo that can take a 3770K, then that's the cheaper route, and I personally don't see a point in getting a new system. But if not, then no point buying an old mobo for an old CPU. A mobo for a 6600K will also be upgradeable in the future.

 

Waiting for Ryzen to release might also drop the price on the 6600K.
