Ryzen R7 by far, like it's pretty clear what your choice should probably be, and it comes out in 4 days

If you don't need 8 cores then I have to assume you're not really doing anything that is heavily threaded. If I were you I would just keep what you have and save your money, even looking into Ryzen I wouldn't bother, you have a decent setup now.

If you're going to buy a motherboard anyways, then buy AM4 with an R7 1700 or 1700X, it's a pretty easy choice if you do video editing

But the point is i don't need that, i see a difference between cost and worth, i see it is worth it to go for what i need not anything more

That's doesn't make any sense. Ryzen is cheaper and more powerful. Windows uses hundreds of threads.

 

We aren't going to lie to you just because you (inexplicably) don't want to hear the truth. The only thing I can figure is that you are so in love with Intel that you can't accept a better alternative. There is a reason Intel is freaking out right now.

I don't really care about waiting for ryzen i wont need the 8 cores just simply want to for for  better performer for a but more multitasking though it might bite me later for not going ryzen.

 

But i want to got for an i7 i am using a 6600k using a Msi gaming m5 z170a, and was wondering if it would be worth it to switch to z270 it just get a 6700k vs a 7700k?

 

May as well go for the 6700k. The 7700k is basically just a small overclock, which you can do yourself. This way you're guaranteed compatibility.

Looks like OP had a hissy fit, i honestly think that everyone suggesting Ryzen had every reason too, he wanted more threads and Z270 is a new platform so just go R7, more physical cores, no bottle neck and really decent performance.

 

I feel like OP already knew what he wanted, OP just wanted others to support his choice.

Agreed. But this isn't a circle jerk forum.

 

Although I haven't checked every sub-forum, so it might be.

This guy must be trolling or just a bleeding edge hardcore Intel fanboy

The contradictions with OP's statements, and subsequent denial essentially doomed this thread to a "circle jerk". Feels like I just played a LTT version of Phoenix Wright.

You can put the 7700 in the board you already have dumbass. People are trying to save you money, pull your head out of your ass and listen. The Ryzen is more core/ threads for THE SAME PRICE. If you don't get value, and don't want help, then don't ask. Maybe you should just go to reddit as you have already stated.

Please don't. I'm sorry they don't understand what you're thinking but here are the facts.

 

The 7700k is only about 5% better than the 6700k, at most. And if you update your bios now, you'll be totally fine using a 7700k on your motherboard.

 

Don't get a new motherboard. You'd essentially be paying $150-$200 extra for basically nothing.

 

So it's really up to you; a 6700k would mean no worries about issues at all. A 7700k would be slightly more performance for a slightly higher price and you might initially have some issues but later on you won't. However, even if you do want to just get an i7, I'd recommend you wait a week or two. Ryzens release could cause an avalanche affect on Intel's CPU prices and may end up allowing you to get a 6700k or 7700k for as much as $100-$150 cheaper.

 

They mean well. They just don't understand your direction ATM.

 

If you plan on mainly gaming, I recommend you just go the above route. Ryzen won't give you much benefits if so.

 

However, if you video edit or currently do some productivity stuff and/or believe in the future you will do a lot of productivity stuff then you might want to consider something like a 1700. Instead of getting a z270 board+7700k, for about the same price you could be getting a 1700+an x370 board. In many games it might currently hurt you, but in the long run for gaming and in productivity it would help you.

 

However, NO MATTER WHAT, don't get a z270 board. It's a literal waste of money.
