January 7, 20179 yr I am happy to announce that I have just purchased a few new components for a new system. I am transferring a few of my older components from the older build that I bought not too long ago. 1TB HD SSD 500GB GTX 970 4GB 500W Power Supply And these new components. What do you guys think? Will it be a good build? Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight

January 7, 20179 yr No need to swap really - I've read several reviews of both Skylake and Kaby Lake Intel CPUs, and although Kaby Lake starts at a higher clock for the 7700K version, the number of Instructions Per Second (IPS) isn't any higher than Skylake and the overall difference in gaming isn't likely to be felt. tomshardware.com anandtech.com Unfortunately, unlike GPU technology, Intel CPU technology hasn't advanced much in the last 3 years. As someone who will be building, from scratch, a new rig using this spring's tax refund, I'm a little disappointed Intel hasn't been trying harder. Just the same, I'm going for the Kaby Lake 7700K because with a good cooler some folks are hitting 5.0 GHZ with it (turbo mode). Mark Trainer Mark Trainer
