As someone who's still running on Nehalem and with some sub-par R9 2xx gpu, would you say it's a good choice to upgrade right now?

This skylake stuff makes me wet, as well as the M.2 SSDs even though for some reason the DDR4 latency seems pretty abysmal.

Question is, is it wise to update that stuff between now and christmas or am I too soon for some game-changing tech in the pipes coming out soon?

Ram access is designed to hide latencies and most of the time Mhz is more important.
Also, you realize the latencies stated on a ram is not absolute and is related to the Mhz?

aw shit a whole new chipset??

might take this advice and wait.

the only thing I realized is my current ddr3 has much better numbers but I hadn't researched it since I don't have a choice anyways.

DDR4 speed has not completely matured anyway and they're slowing making faster ddr4 ram so it's better to wait.

Do you really want to give a company money for changing sockets every time they fart for the sole purpose of making you spend money?

If you don't plan on running something that makes heavy use of AVX skymeme isn't much of an upgrade. As for super fast ssds do you really stand to benefit from any speeds that sata can't handle? I mean if you're regularly dealing dealing with 50GB data sets then yeah get one.
