I really don't know, you tell me.

Are you a strictly a gamer, prefer single threaded performance or is there something else. Can't be performance per dollar.

With an updated Ryzen on the horyzen (sorry) and Intel's Meltdown efforts I certainly can not see any reason at all to consider an 8600k.

Big gamer and would love to move to Ryzen but the whole 'need specific memory' to get the best out of it? yeah see you later i'll have intel. If new Ryzen just works with all memory i'd be a happy camper and wait till april.

Depends on whether you want the absolute best gaming performance. It comes with a price tag though.
What is your GPU and are you likely to upgrade that GPU in future?

I have a 1070 super jetstream and im happy with it, at least until gfx card prices stop being insane. I have no idea when sense will kick back in so until then my 1070 is more than enough :)

Oh and as a PS: i have a 6600k, its a nice chip but im just thinking of when i'll need 6/8 cores, at the moment 6600ks are tanking in price so worried about holding on to it too long.
