Keven Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 They seem even. The 6700k is a tiny tiny bit better. Not worth the £100 more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keven Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) The different in price for me is 70$ do you think it worth then? Well if you have no trouble affording it. As i said, it is a little bit better and its quite new. In that case it will be somehow better for the long run too. As i said, if $70 isn't much for you then go for it.

N88 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Skylake is a bit better at everything, and the new Z170 chipset is has some good new features compared to older Z97 motherboards. Keep in mind you have to get an aftermarket cooler for Skylake, as it doesn't come with Boxed cooler anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudie Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) It requires ddr4 ram which is pretty expensive I upgraded my pc to an i5 last week. I was choosing between the 4690k and the new 6600k, I went for the 4690k cause it didn't require me to buy new ram and the performance diffrence was minimal, skylake shows huge improvement in the integrated graphics tho so if you're gonna use a seperate graphics card with it it's not worth the extra money.

Zikama Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The new skylake looks promising, altho I can't imagine it would be worth upgrading if you have a CPU equal or never to Haswell. I still love my 4790K because it runs 4 Ghz stock and turbos up to 4,4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually DDR4 isn't very expensive anymore, it's about the same price as DDR3, but obviously if you already have DDR3 it makes sense to get 4690k. Btw still rocking my Ivy Bridge i5-3570k.

Btw still rocking my Ivy Bridge i5-3570k. I already had high speed ddr3 ram so I indeed didnt feel the need to get new ram for slightly better performance. I also overclocked my new i5 to 4.6 ghz so the performance now is somewhat identical except for the integrated graphics which I dont use anyway cause I have a seperate graphics card :p Edited August 17, 2015 by Rudie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
