[QUOTE="DracusNarcrym, post: 594377, member: 43812"] The performance difference is not much greater than the 6th gen Skylake, in my opinion. If you want to upgrade from an existing 6700K in your system, I recommend that you do not. (or from 6600K to 7600K) If you are building a system [i]from scratch[/i] though, then I'd say it's reasonable to get the 7th gen models, because at a nearly identical price to the 6th gen CPUs, they offer more performance (even if it's just a little). Indeed you are right. Except I am currently saving up to invest in a GTX 1080Ti or AMD's high-end Vega-based GPU to come out in Q2 2017. *-* Oh and as for Arctic Silver 5, it has been tested and found not to be conductive by many enthusiasts, as far as I've read. Plus, I've been using it for all of my unlocked processor builds (years now), so I'm quite confident with it. :D [/QUOTE]
