Substandard TIM is a huge annoyance with Intel chips. It is ridiculous at this point especially for their higher end chips.Dream crusher. :'(

Seems like current rumors have the i5 8400 with a 3.8GHz all core turbo and 4.0GHz 1 core turbo?
But we'll have to wait and see if those numbers are accurate.
Just get the Ryzen, lol.Fuck, i was planning to switch from my i5 2500k to Ryzen 7 1700, i guess that it would be better to wait, anyone if there would be much difference from the i5 8600K 6c/6t to a Ryzen 1700? i plan to stream while gaming, and edit media...
I don't think that would be an upgrade at all. You would get gains in single-threaded performance but lose alot on multi-threaded performance.Worth it to upgrade from a 6950X?
In your case, I think Ryzen would be the safest choice unless you went with the i7, but I think it'd be better to wait for reviews unless you're in a hurry, better make a completely informed decision than rushing to buy something before getting all information.Fuck, i was planning to switch from my i5 2500k to Ryzen 7 1700, i guess that it would be better to wait, anyone if there would be much difference from the i5 8600K 6c/6t to a Ryzen 1700? i plan to stream while gaming, and edit media...
If your intent is gaming, definitely wait, the 8700K is likely gonna be a better overall gaming CPU than the 7700K, especially in the long run (unless there's problems with the 8700K).I'm currently putting a PC together (from scratch), should I just put it together now with a 7700k or wait for the new line? I have no idea, but the new leaks seem promising and there's no rush, but still. The prices (going by OP) don't seem that much more than I would pay right now anyway.
You and I both, though depending on the price perhaps the 8700k will be bought. I need ddr4 as well so this will be a major upgrade from 3570k and 8gb of Ram.I'm eying the 8600k to replace my 3570k, let's see how this goes.

8700k + volta 2080, can't wait to build my next rig!

I literally just bought a Ryzen 1600 2 days ago.

I mean... have you hit a situation yet where the 6700k isn't fast enough? I have a 2600k and only from upgrading my GPU to a 1070 a couple of weeks ago have I FINALLY had my CPU become a bottleneck, and even then only in CPU intensive games that are poorly optimised like Fallout 4. I'm always confused when I see people with still very recent CPUs talking about upgrading. What do you guys use them for?
On the topic of Coffee Lake, I'm really happy to see these rumoured boost clocks looking so damn good. I'm still holding on to my 2600k until someone releases an 8c/16t 4ghz+ CPU, but it's great seeing how close we're getting. That's my future-proof target to carry me through the PS5 gen.
It all depends if that MMO is being CPU bound due to lack of cores or CPU bound due to lack of performance per core.I play an MMO where the game is nearly entirely CPU bound, I can use any slight upgrade I can get, lol.
Can't wait for the 8700k, it'll be such a nice upgrade coming from a 2500k.
The latest information I read on the 8700k has it boosting to 4.7 / 4.6 / 4.4 / 4.3 GHz with 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 core loads respectively.
This is unconfirmed for now, but would be some extremely impressive clocks if true.
If your intent is gaming, definitely wait, the 8700K is likely gonna be a better overall gaming CPU than the 7700K, especially in the long run (unless there's problems with the 8700K).
EDIT: Well, if your intent is not gaming, the 8700K is still gonna be an overall better CPU anyway. <-<;
At this point I would not be buying a 4 core processor. Wait for Coffeelake, we should know more about it over the next few weeks or just go Ryzen 16/17/1800.
Gonna tell myself to keep waiting for Icelake....
I Literally just bought a 7700k for my new PC build. Should an return it and wait it out?
When are the new mobos releasing?

If you have not bought the motherboard yet and you're OK with spending at-least $100 more I would.
You should. With the new CPUs on 5th of October.

Would the new motherboards be available it as well. I mean the Z ones for overclocking.
By far the most interesting thing about these is whether they will use a ring bus or a mesh interconnect.
If the former, I expect the 8700k to be the best gaming CPU in pretty much everything by a decent margin.
Urgh why need a new motherboard. How frustrating. How much better than a 7700k would it be?

I've totally lost track, does this mean that buying a Ryzen 7 setup is going to be a poor choice now or...?
Games seem to be built for 8 threads or less. I doubt 8700k will outperform 7700k in games or OC better.Urgh why need a new motherboard. How frustrating. How much better than a 7700k would it be?

Lets hope they don't use cheap TIM again.
Don't worry everyone. If you can't or don't want to buy one of these Coffee Lake chips, just wait another 6-10 months and Intel will probably have 9th-gen chips with another new board for you.
I have a 6600K @ 4.5GHz paired with a 1080ti. I think I'll just get a 6700K for cheap sometime early next year. No point in replacing my Z170 board when I just want the extra threads for a few more frames in certain games.
