Z270 is the correct chipset for the 7700k, although it is technically outdate as the z370 chipset is out now, but the 7700k will not work on a z370 board.

Hi, I am new at making PC's and I am looking at making my first build. Though it is a little overkill for a first build I have decided to use a i7, and recently on a forum page I had someone tell me that the Z270 chipset is outdated, but I think he is incorrect with this statement. Just to make sure I wanted some more opinions about this, feed back is much appreciated since I am just a noob, Thanks!

z270 is made for i7 7700k. the reason why they say its outdated is because the 8700k is released and it can only use z370. besides  the 7700k will not work on a z370 anyway. But if i were you i would wait until 8700k price drop then buy that.

Thanks for the backround, this also helps so much! I definetly see what your saying, but even if the 8700k price dropped, I don't think it would be by enough, and plus it's a christmas build and someone else is helping me pay for the parts by christmas, so I don't have that much time to wait. Thanks so much for the insight about that though, maybe if it does drop by enough then I could look at getting it!

If it's on sale at all, you should go for it. Save up some money leading up to Christmas and hope for the best.

I think a z370/8600k or 8700 would be a better build for the same price at the point
