7700K on Z270 or Z170?

Hi guys! I'm really happy right now because this morning someone rings the bell to deliver a special package.

A guy from the local PC store delivered me the i7 7700K. I was reviewing lots of stuff from their store so they gave me this one free.

But, I don't have a Z170 system to test this out and the Z270 wasn't released yet here.

Should I buy the Z170 to review this or wait for the Z270?

I'm wondering about it too.

Got an i5 7600 today and had a B150 motherboard in hand.

older B150 and Z170 need a BIOS update to accept the Kaby Lake CPUs

 

this is similar to the Haswell to Haswell Refresh era

 

 

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

There shouldn't be much of a difference but for review purposes I would wait for a z270.
