Was thinking of upgrading from a i7 2600 to 8400

[Rocko Modaro]

However, I found a used 6800k in local area (craigslist) for $239

 

Should I just wait for the 8400 to get in stock?I'm just so sick of waiting, and a decent x99 board can be found for $99 on pcpartpicker... I do game development stuff in the Godot engine, and partial gaming. Have a rx 480

Edit: Or, do you even think it's worth it to upgrade from Sandy Bridge?

6800k, buy it, now. It wont be as fast atm, but with some oc, itll be better. As for the upgrade, singlecore wise, not really, multi core, yeah, a bit. I would do it, but im the guy who would buy 24c xeons because the 18c 7980xe isnt good enough.
