Then how can you afford a 6850K?

Cpu in a few months, Motherboard a month after.

Espicially with X99 prices

I plan to buy a 250$ motherboard a month after I get the cpu, If I go for the 6850k now as you guys are putting some nice choices on the table.

Isn't the 8700K going to be Kaby Lake Refresh while the 8710K (or whatever) be Covfefe Lake and the 8720K (or whatever) be Cannonlake?

Grain of salt

Ryzen 5 gets SLIGHTLY out performed by the 6850K in multi threaded workloads, and perhaps single threaded workloads (probably not) and the motherboards start at $60 for mATX overclocking motherboard.

Will ryzen 5 handle sli though?

What?

No I don't think so.

Yeah, but you need a slightly more expensive board

Terrible idea.

you end up with a useless paperweight for a month.

better to save the money and buy both at the same time.

plus, by then, the 8700K will probably be out, which will be much more powerful for less money.

Ok thank you for the imput there.

I am gaming my goal is 4k ultra on everything.

at 4K, the CPU doesn't matter much.

Ryzen 1600 is much cheaper, and will be plenty good

[HellsKnight]

Oh didn't know. Only reason I am getting a new motherboard/looking into a new cpu as well is cause the current one will randomly restart while gaming. I already swap out the psu 3 times, GPU twice. and ran memtest on my 8gigs of ddr4 2400mhz and Crystaldiskinfo on my hdd. I cant figure out what it could be anymore but the motherboard.

Maybe try throwing some more voltage onto the CPU?

I never touched it, Only did the auto overclock in bios and I dont really feel that comfy touching the voltage.

I currently have a MSI z270 sli plus motherboard, I am replacing in a few days. Cause of the randomly restarts its been giving.

You sure it's the motherboard?

Honestly, I don't know, But I checked everything I can think of. I doubt the restarts are being caused cause I am using a 4k 43" lg UHD tv as my monitor.

Try a manual overclock as some of those programs put too much voltage into the chip.

Sorry, well that might be the mobo. 

Try RMA it or do the basic: reset CMOS

 

i7 6850k isn't worth it, the 7700k is enough for SLI setup. i5 7600k might bottleneck if you plan to do gaming as well

 

if you must get x99, get a 6800k, the extra cpu lane on 6850k is not needed considering a huge extra cost you are paying for

Ryzen is a good choice and costs way cheaper than 6800k while performance is almost the same

I have since removed the overclock and even updated the bios.

Can you recommend a Ryzen cpu for my sli set up I want todo?

What's the purpose of SLI? Gaming? Video editing?

Gaming at 4k maxed out on everything.

i7 7700k on the safe side

R5 1600 on a budget side

R7 1700 for future proof
