I am going to buy this

http://www.awd-it.co.uk/intel-i7-6700k-overclocked-4.5g...

Around christmas time since I have old Motherboard. uneven ram and wanted a overclocking i7 but is it worth it since the new 7th generation cpus are coming out. But the ones I have been looking at isnt much or even better then the i7 6700k right now. Will this motherboard even fit a 7th generation i7?

Thanks

Not really. There is minimal to no gain. You will also need to get a new z170 motherboard and ddr4 ram as well.

Not worth it, generation over generation there is only about a 10% difference in performance.
What are your current specs?
If you're gaming you may want to look at a graphics card upgrade.
