I don't know Tommy. I am considering it. My rig is about 2+ years old now and that's probably the longest I have kept any rig. So, I am considering it, but it will depend on a lot of things. As usual with me, the price and the performance. Even being a little older, my rig is doing fine. I don't have to do anything. So, I guess we'll just see what Intel comes out with. But, unless I win the lottery, I seriously doubt you will see me paying $1000 for a CPU. I have really mixed emotions. If I go with Skylake X, I'd like to move up from a 6 core to an 8 core, but not $1000 worth. But, I have considered the Kaby Lake X. Mainly because I really miss the serious overclocking we used to do with the 3770Ks. I love that and have been really out of it since going with the 5930K. Yes, it's overclocked, bit forget any 5.4 overclocks with it. Takes all the fun out of it. Kind of like Pascal with the GPUs. So, I'm just waiting to see what happens. But, I'm not going to complain about what Intel is coming out with until I see it. Right now everything is rumor and speculation.

I was actually going to wait to see if prices drop on the 6900k i seen a 5960x for $700 and some change but really i must resist
