are you looking to any new CPU to go with it? i'm curious to see the performance of ZEN in benchmarks optimized for Vulkan (basemark should have one soon) compared to Intel. The CPU market has been stale for ages, it really needs a kick to it's teeth.

I am interested in the i7 Skylake from intel, i have the old i7 from 2012 and i must say its a dream CPU. I can only imagin how good the new skylake CPU will be paired up with a 1080 GTX

the CPU market has been so disappointing for so long, marginal performance boosts of around 10% for premium costs is quite lackluster, especially when my I5 has been taking care of business for the last 3 years. i'll really need to see something revolutionary soon or i'll be very disappointed. a good I7 from 2012 should have you in as pretty good a state as you're probably want to be right now... don't jump into skylake until you see some gaming performance benches from both Intel and AMD that's my advice
