Errr,So many socket upgrades between now and AMD's ZEN. With only a year or less away for ZEN I'd really hate to have to upgrade again after spending all this money on Intel's Skylake-K just to compete with AMD's ZEN.I would like to purchase something that will be futureproof enough to last for at leased 2-3 years and something that will be somewhat comparable to ZEN.
I just got that feeling ZEN is going to end up kicking some ass and taking names.
I dont mind Upgrading from a Skaylake-k 6700K to another CPU on the same socket but I really dont want to do all this socket hoping if you can understand everything I just said and make sense of my ramblings.
I think you'll be fine if you buy a Skylake-K in Q3 2015. You'll get ~1 year or so before Zen even comes out, and there's no guarantee that it'll be superior to your Skylake chip.
