should i wait ZEN or go for 6700K?

[Harrychrizt]

Im planning to building a gaming PC that can hold up 3-5 years.. and features me:
1. 4K Gaming
2. VR Gaming
3. Support Triple-Monitor @1080 with Minimum 60FPS Max Settings to Average Online Heavy Games (GTA V, BF4, COD IW, Crysis 3 etc)
4. and in the future can support Multi-User up to 4 players playing heavy games with minimum 60FPS Normal to High settings @768p

should i wait the ZEN Procie (that can beat Broadwell-E 6900K?) or go for the SKYLAKE i7 6700K?

my budget is arround $2000

Any information surrounding Zen is based on marketing material and hearsay, so don't trust anything.

Apparently, Zen is scheduled for an October release, so can you wait until then? If not, then Intel is the way to go and an i7-6700K is all you need. A Xeon E3-1230 v5 is another CPU that you should consider.

At 5760x1080 and 3840x2160 you're going to need a GTX 1080 at least. Even then, you may have to lower or disable some advanced features to keep the frame rate up.

thank you for information..
i can wait till October, but i've heard/read ZEN will realase in early 2017.. T_T
it would be easy to decide......JUZ IF i know the PRICE of ZEN..?

they just announced Zen, read what they say in that post a few days back here on Toms, should be more info there.

no info on price, but AMD usually isn't unreasonable and at most comparable to Intels top gamer cpu I would guess.

wait for first reviews, then you know price too, then decide... I am holding out too, always liked AMD but man they been behind for a few years now, I really hope they begin to shine again, I want them to shine (and no not really a fanboy) I have used Intel and AMD both and Cyrix too, I go where the best bang for the buck is.

If you can wait, then wait. You're not losing out and could potentially save a chunk of cash if AMD continue to price their products competitively.
