There is no wrong way to go anymore the market is saturated with product which makes it real hard to choose and this is exactly what everyone called for but goodness everything out is with in a margin of 10 -25% Margins

Realistically doesn't do that much for gaming even with the 6700k it's with in one frame of the 7700k as well it is one frame behind 8700k because games are topped out at the refresh rate so realistically it won't be any faster

I think the price on every part of a PC is outrageous, and we only have ourselves to blame because we keep buying said parts.

I mean we will gladly throw down $150 to $250 for a PSU, $800 for a GPU, and $500 to $1000 for a CPU without thinking twice about it. :)

I'm actually considering getting a $1200 monitor, that's insane

I plead guilty as charged. I actually paid $2200 for a 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro CRT monitor somewhere in the late 90s or early 2000s. That was to go with my dual Xeon setup.
