I didn't want to start a new thread but the 8700k is looking like the gaming cpu to get:

Not too surprising considering it is looking like a slightly better 7700k with two more cores, but that should make it handle games extremely well.
Now just don't be too expensive. Crossing my fingers for 350, bracing for 400.
The 8350k is looking decent too as a budget cpu.
Wow, first real generational bump from Intel in how long now?
