There is always a lot of discussion on these boards about how frustrating it is that HEDT is 1-2 gens behind in CPU architecture compared to mainstream platform. So I would like to ask a very simple question to tease out people's views...
If you could have EITHER a 6700K + top end Z170 mobo OR 5960X + top end X99 board for free, which would you take and why?
Assume you cannot resell the parts at any point in time (part of the terms you had to agree to in order to get free gear).
I've included a poll but please include expanded thoughts if you are so inclined.
