Building a PC for the future Wanna Help

[StarStreamFPS]

Well I am planing a new PC for Gaming Only and may do a little video rending but not much any way. I don't really care about being on a budget I just want the best that will last me for a few years that being said I am trying to decided what CPU to get. I have been looking at i7 7700k CPU and I know it is the best CPU for gaming by most people opinion. But with games with like BF1 and Arma III and Others Would I not benefit from buying a CPU like the i7 6800k to make my PC last longer I know upgrading GPU is going to have to happen but Buying a 6 core CPU with last longer would it not? With the way games are going in the future being more CPU taxing. I know X299 should be coming out later this year and ryzen is a good option but after hearing a few people say gaming is not the best job for ryzen that said 2-9 FPS dose not make a differences to me. So to wrap up I am thinking if buying a CPU with more than 4 cores is a good idea for Gaming in the feature. Thanks please tell me your thoughts.

ryzen 7 1800x got all those cores and it can game also or if you want blue team the 6800k for the same reasons

Well, an affordable ryzen 1600 is great, it has 6 cores and 12 threads so great for rendering. The CPU may fall behind slightly to the  7700K But you can always overclock to at least bridge some of the gap in gaming. A 6-core CPU would last longer than a quad core and CPU intensive games will definitely enjoy pushing out fps with the extra cores and threads.

Get a 1700, OC to the same and same performance.  Waste of $200

Definitely true.  I suggest getting an r7 1700

Really you can't go wrong with any of the new CPUs over 4c/4t (prices notwithstanding). The i7 7700 howver has had isolated heat issues no YMMV.
