I've fallen once too often for AMD's hype only to be let down. Now its a 'prove it or you're lying' attitude I keep and just ignore the hype and rumors.

If you plan to wait for the next big better thing, you'll always be waiting.

Also, a 4th quarter launch will be the 'paper' launch with real products not coming until q1/2017. Do you really want to wait a year or more?

AMD zen sounds promising, but it's all rumors, I have been debating whether upgrading now or later, but the zen processors are supposed to come out 4th quarter of this year. There have been disappointments in the past from AMD though. Build looks good unless you plan to use multiple programs at once or play games that take lots of RAM.

i heard that INTEL will release Skylake high-end octa core CPUs after the release of AMD ZEN
though the wait doesn't worth it in my opinion .. i addition intel's cpu is 14nm & lower TDP than amd's ..
