Hey folks,

I am building a budget gaming machine while I'm out of the country for a year.

I am aware of kabylake and looking at some of the leaks the performance gain isn't much,

However I am building a machine around a 1070 and 8GB ram. I am wondering if the 6600K is ample for a simple gaming machine with a 4K screen attached.

Bang for buck, this looks good and maybe step up to a i7 kabylake + up to 16GB ram when time and budget allows next year.

Thoughts? will be the 6600K be ample.

Thanks.
 
Thanks, I understand the res may need to come down to or some settings down.

I'm obviously trying to build a budget machine with some 'power' but with kabylake around the corner i was adverse to a i7 SL. Putting the money saved into a better graphics card
 
I was thinking about dropping down to 2560 by something and then next year moving from i5 SL to i7 KL.....
 
I've already got a z170 board. Also I'm not sure if going back is wise.
It's purely games and windows , nothing at all.
