S my pc has a core it 2500k 3,3ghz since june 2011. Gpus is GTX 970 G1 GAMING and 12 gb ram. I use my px mainly foe gaming but i am also a programmaer. While current games can still run at max settings even at 4k on a 2500k combined with a very strong gpu i think that since it is 4 years old that it is time to upgrade it. I plan to wait until 2016 when you release the new Skulake cpus and buy new cpu then. What do you think?

Hello Shredder,

You can wait until the Skylake platform is available, but you can also find that the current processor models can more than satisfy your current computing needs.

In the following link, I've chosen the i7-4790K so that you can check the specs; this would be an unlocked processor as well.
