I7 6000 or 7000 series

[RePlayBoy101]

i currently dont know if its worth it to buy a 7700(or K version) over 6700(or K version) i7 processor

are there any real noticable differencess between these two?

Not really, unless you are going to take advantage of the Optane feature. It also depends on the motherboard. The difference is a 5-10% increase. But if you are purely gaming, you will not notice a difference.

Agreed.

Generally speaking, Intel doesn't drop prices on old products, they just discontinue and replace them. The 7xxx series should have about the same retail price as the 6xxx and are faster. If you can snag an older 6xxx CPU used for a good price, it's not much slower and possibly worth it.
