Doing a new gaming build in the next few months. Trying to decide bewteen x99/ 5820k and the new skylake platform/ 6700k. I know lots of people are in a similar boat......

I'm looking for the best longish term investment with upgradability. Basically - if I get a 6700k 4 core 6700k but want to upgrade to a skylake E, 6 or 8 core (is that correct?) in the next year or so - will the E chips fit in the new 'normal' release skylake motherboards that launch soon? I'd like some sort of future proofing. Sounds like x99 might not have any future chip upgrade path?

Really? Not that I'm doubting you but do you have any links to solid info, I couldn't find much.

If that is true then I think I'm Deffo going x99 then but will wait for skylake release and reviews anyway.
