I purchased a 6700k off Amazon a week and a half ago for $340. 7700k is available for $10 more. Am I crazy for considering returning the 6700k and purchasing a 7700k? I have an Asus z170 and a bios update provides support for it.

I'm aware the increase in performance is minimal, almost nonexistance. However I dropped $1600 on this build and it seems silly to not eke out any little bit I can to make it last.

why not if you can wait a few more days. even if it's more of a morally pleasing thing to do than a performance improvement

I have 6700k no regrets; because I'd not buy a Win 10 restricted CPU. I like win 7.

But the 6700k is more power efficient and the performance is literally the same per clock.

You already have a graphics card so literally the only upside of the 7gen cpus i.e. onboard 4k is useless. Save the $10. Get some LEDs or a fan.

Thank you for putting my concerns to rest.

Not worth the hassle of haggling with Amazon to take it back anyways.

It depends how well your 6700k clocks. Is it hitting 4.7ghz? If so, it's not worth. If it's a shit chip, yeah, do it.

The only reasonable upgrade for lasting value will be if 6 core coffeelake ends up compatible.
