I5-6600 or i5-7500 ( 6600 still worth it ? )

[Popkos]

Hello,

i want to upgrade my CPU, and firstly i was up to get the i5-7500, because in my opinion it´s more "future proof", but then i read problems, that the MBs doesn´t come up with latest BIOS, and to update it, you need Skylake CPU ... So now due to this BIOS trouble i started to look at the Skylakes again and found the i5-6600. Is it still worth it to buy the 6600 now in 2017? I´m a bit worried about buying skylake now, because of its 2015 release date, its two years from now.. But that´s the question, if it is still worth it. Thank you for your help.

7xxx CPUs work perfectly fine out of the box with 2xx chipsets, which were designed for them. Instead of buying a B150 board, buy a newer B250 board and you'll have no problems.
