December 29, 20169 yr 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). | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
December 29, 20169 yr Author 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...
December 29, 20169 yr 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.
