    i7-7800X or i7-8700K ?

    Hello, Given that i7 8700K prices are higher than list price today ($414) , is it worth it to get it when the i7-7800X 6 cores CPU is cheaper ($360) ? Both Motherboards are the same Price ($220) so I wonder if getting i7-8700K is worth it at higher price ? while I will get less lanes as well.
