Intel is not really known for good price drops on older chips.

Do you reckon they will start appearing on sale ( as second hand models ) in the next two months then ?. Also would you reccomend buying a i7 7700k second hand ?

Eh.... it's super hard to recommend upgrading if it's just gaming you're doing.

Not likely. If you're needing to get one for cheaper, try Microcenter if you have one near you. They usually have pretty decent discounts on CPUs.

 

Edit: Don't bother upgrading unless you specifically need the extra threads. For something like gaming, you're perfectly fine with the 6600K, even with a GTX 1070.
