Current Build and new Kaby Lake

[amulsingh01]

This is mu current planned build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/WqdYd6

I wanted to to know your opinions if I should wait for Kaby Lake and a z270 but means waiting 2-3 months. I was gonna go ahead and start ordering stuff before I found out about Kaby Lake. I might go ahead and order some things like storage and case.

Thank you in advance.

If you are not in a hurry you could wait for it, by this time AMD Zen would be out aswell to consider if it is good. Although by current knowledge there aren't many improvements on Kaby Lake over Skylake and the performance increase seems to be from the bumped up clock speeds. So you'll be safe to go ahead with the purchase on that front if you need the system now. There are no details about the new chipsets yet so there might (or not) be some new feature(s).

The 7700K is going to be 4.2Ghz 14nm+ is the only advantage I know of for the CPU. The 200 series motherboard will increase the max PCIE lanes from 20 to 24 which may be worth the wait. I dont know what Optane support is but think it has something to do with SSD.

I think I might just wait for the new chip and mobo, but order all of my other stuff.
