Z370 or wait for next platform?

[proofvrlab]

Looking to build a new PC, I'm not in a huge rush as it's ideally for 2nd generation PC VR...which is some ways off.

However, I'd like to get it built sometime during 2018, so I can use it for productivity, I'm currently using an Intel NUC which is limited.

Question:- Build on Z370 (Asus Rog Maximus X Hero with i7K cpu) or wait for Intel's next generation? What comes next? And when?

Update September 18, 2017: Intel are expected to launch eight-core/16-thread mainstream Ice Lake chips in the second half of 2018, giving us a potential reason for all this Z390 chipset weirdness.

Many thanks for the heads-up! Looks like it's worth waiting until middle of 2018 to build on the new platform.
