I am looking at purchasing a new rig for streaming/gaming since my current cpu (i5 4690k) struggles with streaming.

New Rig:
cpu: i7 7800x 6core processor
mobo: Aorus x299 Ultra Gaming
gpu: Gtx 1080
ram: Corsair Vengence 16gb ddr4

I wouldn't mind the coffelake but it's still on the old 1151 socket and I wanna be future proof with the 2066 socket which the x series uses. In case I ever need to upgrade cpu in a few years i don't have to get a whole new mobo again.
 


Nothing is future proof mate! Z370 will be the new series of MB for Coffee lake, there is none MB supporting coffee lake! Which one is more future proof? Coffee lake despite same socket

I see what you're saying. Though besides saving a bit of money by switching to the coffee lake... let's say I stayed with this build i presented. How do you think it performs in terms of streaming/gaming?
