Upgrade options from 3770K - June 2016

[OverDrive]

Hi guys,

I built my 3770k rig 4yrs ago and I really have the flipping 'itch' to upgrade now! I am running a stable OC of 4.6 and would also want a good OC on my new CPU.

I'm considering the following:

1. Skylake 6700k
2. Haswell-E 5820k
3. Wait for Kaby Lake, Skylake-E .....or Cannonlake next year!

I think I've ruled out the Broadwell-E 6800k as reviews say it does not OC too well and will require liquid cooling to push beyond 4GHZ - I've no experience with liquid cooling, but I'm sure I could give it a try if needed. If it is still worth considering this chip then please let me know.

My main game is FSX, so also wondering if the extra cores on the extreme edition CPUs will help.

Thank you.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I guess the flip side to this more gradual rate of performance increase in recent years is that our CPUs are viable for much longer!

It's no fun though
