Need help in build decision

[Kloudkicker]

Should I buy the i7-6700k for 259.99 now or wait and see if there's a better price drop in the next month or two? Microcenter is having a sale on the 6700 and the 7700 but I don't know which to get. The 7700 is 299.99 I'm probably going to get a Z270 board either way.

Wait for Ryzen benchmarks pretty please?

Don't buy it. It doesn't feature out of factory RBG on the stock cooler. That means it doesn't perform well.

I don't really need the 16 cores, it's going to be a gaming build. I'd rather speed on 8 threads than more threads.

Well it wasn't directly helpfull, but I'd recommend waiting for a bit if you can. Ryzen seems promising and even if you want Intel, you might see a pricedrop soon because of Ryzen. The RGB joke was a reference to the new Ryzen stock coolers.
