I think I'll wait for Kabylakes to release and see if the i5 6600k price goes down.

 

I doubt it will go down too much... maybe 20 bucks.  I'm also looking to upgrade, and can't decide if I'm going to AMD (they have a new CPU coming out Ryzen, supposed to be good), or sticking with Intel and going for a 7700K (or 6700K).

Is the Ryzen supposed to have better single core performance? If so, I might stick it out and stay AMD...

Honestly I would go with the tried and true, Intel. This will be AMDs redesigned chip, I wouldn't want the 1st batch, go with Intel, see how AMDs results are, if its better then get the rev2 or rev3 version of the optimized chip when it comes.

That's what I was thinking aswell.
