Hello, as someone who hasn't kept up with "the scene" for quite some time now, I am looking to upgrade my PC after a long time of it sitting on its i7 920, however just a bit confused about what to go for, Skylake seems to be all the rage now is this the best CPU to be buying right now?

the PC is just used for gaming really
 
Sorry I should clarify, I have been updating the graphics card periodically its just the rest lagging behind, i have a 780 currently and will perhaps upgrade it when the new ones come out next year, but the 920 with 4gb of memory is where im putting some money now, it seems the i7 6700k looks like the best choice?

Though prices seem a lot higher now then a few months ago
 
Yeah jeez just noticed how out of date that thing is, outside of the price though 6700k would be a good performer? i can always wait a couple of months and see if the price levels out again - assuming the high price is due to shortages?
