Hi everyone I was just wondering whats peoples opinions for buying a i7 7700k now for a gaming pc or wait to see what cannonlake has to offer. I have a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T and 8 gigs of DDR 3 of DDR3 and they are really starting to struggle to play anything. I have an nvidia 680 and I've noticed that upgrading that really doesn't matter because my performance is peaking on the CPU and Ram way before it peaks on the GPU. Getting good priced DDR 3 is also really difficult lately and doesn't seem worth the price so I'm waiting to upgrade to DDR 4 instead of sinking more money into DDR 3 because my motherboard can only handle 2 slots of ram so to upgrade I'd need 2 8 gig sticks.
The real question, that no one really knows, is if cannonlake is gonna be a good improvement on 7700k for gaming or is it really not gonna be a big difference and in the end i'll just buy a 7700k anyway. Please let me know your opinions and what you think is the best way to proceed.
