Skylake, unless you can get a good deal.

I've had two and neither did 4.4GHz stable without lots of voltage and very high temps.

I've had two both did 4.5 on 1.25 my currents on 4.6

Go Skylake, 6700K has come down to normal pricing now and you will be able to upgrade to a Kaby Lake CPU later on. Kaby Lake being the Devil's Canyon (Refresh) of Skylake if you get what I mean, like the Haswell refresh was Devil's Canyon.

So 6700K (4.0 > 4.2Ghz) now, later on can upgrade to 7700K. (Rumored 4.2 > 4.5Ghz)

I love my 6700k. To be fair it's overkill for my usage but Jesus I love the ease of over clocking these things.

I've decided to go with the Skylake 6700K. Now I'm just trying to sort the case out as I've been told the case I was thinking about getting isn't very good in cooling (specially aircooling).

What case is it? Cases cooling is largely dependant on positioning of fans and components and any stock case can be improved hugely.

I have pretty much decided for the Fractual Design Define R5 case now. I was first thinking about the BitFenix Shinobi XL case but was told it doesn't cool very well.

I'm thinking about using 2x140mm fans in the front, 1x140mm in the rear and 1x140mm in the top.

Skylake

I love my Skylake temps are incredible. I mean all my cores are in the 20,s you can't get any better can you?
