it's the 7700k that needs to drop - that's the highest performing gaming CPU out, not these 6 and 8 core X99 chips. They have their purpose (video editing etc) but for pure gaming performance, nothing beats a 5Ghz+ 7700k.

Like these you mean?

Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 Boxed Processor

$379.99 SAVE $80.00
$299.99

Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake 4.20 GHz LGA 1151 Boxed Processor

$269.99 SAVE $70.00
$199.99
 
Got an i7 6700K last year so no, but if I hadn't I'd certainly be interested. I'd buy based purely on performance, whatever gave me the best of what I want for the right price.

For multi player online 6, 8 and 10 core intel CPUs are better.

There are already some games that can use the extra cores.

For gaming you don't need 5ghz either not even driving 4 way Titan SLI, once you reach the fps the monitor needs you just use the extra power to turn up the settings.

Surprisingly it out performs them due to its single core speed which for the moment is they key thing in newer games like bf1.

When there is a large number of players the 6, 8 and 10 core CPUs do better.

Also X79 and X99 are ideal for SLI and CF, a weak point with mainstream quadcores.

Mainstream quadcores like the 7700k are good for single player single GPU setups but this won't give maximum performance.

im with Kaap on this, I have found playing bf4 and bf1 multiplayer at 4k (high settings) much better on my 3930k rig compared to my 4970k rig. Smoother game play when running about with 64 other players.
 
5820K x99 / R9290 modified AIO here, will farm that off to my 9yr old who is on an i5 2560 non k and do an upgrade. Probably mid tier 8 core & I may even buy from you incl GFX card to ship to Australia cause we get well "serviced" down here with prices. No spit.

Well simple really who is gonna grab a Ryzen 7 when they launch?

At launch? No. After 3 months or so when they've been thoroughly reviewed and tested and all the bugs worked out? Maybe. I'm reckoning on my major upgrade being next year: 120 Hz 4K monitor plus a GPU to drive it.

I noticed that, my sister in law lives in Oz and wanted a pc built, I had a look at the prices she was quoted and was a bit shocked how expensive it was
