Hi guys!,

i have a friend who cant seem to decide what mobo he wants or whethere he should wait for skylake or not.. as his PC just went dead yst. and he wants to get a PC.. well his mobo price is bellow 270. and he is looking at the i7-4970k or 4770k. as a friend i told him to wait for skylake. but he say tat skylake requires DDR4 ram. which cost a bomb lol.. hence i would like some suggestions from u guys, so that i can tell him whats the community feels!

Cut to the chase.

he wants to buy a new PC
cant make up his mind in waiting for skylake or not.
looking at i7 4970K or i7 4770K
Mobo price range is 270 bellow


thanks guys!
