Hi guys , I need some advice here.

There is 2 options :
1. Go Coffe Lake for :
+ Cheaer price.
+ Higher Core.
+ Cheaper mainboard.
- Lower Processor Base Frequency. ( Im not OCer )
But after seen this Intel roadmap cpu :https://cdn.segmentnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/thumb-565275654b4a8b3e46e0812a47de034b_1507021661_081_992x478.jpg
Its look like this Coffe Lake 1151v2 is going down like Lynnfield 1156. No more upgrade. Price go down for sell later.

2. OR Go for Core-X just for socket 2066
- Expensive CPU + Mainboard
- Lowe Core.
But can upgrade further ( not sure - x99 mainboard can fit with future CPU ).
Look like Core-X build is bad idead but i wanna have more good advice then.

Just gaming, not to reach 4k or 60fps or something else. Just normal gaming ^^
