Greetings!
Ok let me get to the point, I have the following build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CF87zy
W10 and a 700W bronze rated PSU (CPU is OC-ed to 4.3Ghz)
Thing is. I'm a MMO player for the most part,and the FX IPC is rather lacking, bottlenecking my gpu to 20-40% with a lot of players around and I already improved everything I could by software(yes I didn't know that much about PC's back when I built it)
Right now I have the money for a 6600k (I plan on reusing the other parts)
and the following motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132571&cm_re=asus_z170-p-_-13-132-571-_-Product
Which leads me into the following questions:
1.Is this motherboard decent for overclocking if I make sure to properly cool the CPU?(VRM's worry me the most)
2.Future-proofing, how long should I expect this CPU to last?
3. Would this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132572&cm_re=asus_z170-p-_-13-132-572-_-Product
compromise futureproofing or even degrade my experience (would save me about 100 dollars in my country since I'd re-use but undervolt the RAM.+price difference)
4.Waiting, rumors about zen and skylake refresh/cannonlake might bring more performance/$ or drop the prices or just try my luck with easter sales?
I know this topic is rather subjective but I want to hear other people opinions since my screw-up with the FX6300.
