Uhh, How stable is that? lol
7700 on sale at CC right now or another retailer, Dave? Just went there today out in Burlington and they had absolutely sweet fuck all.
What'd you pay?
nope , I finally got my hands on a Gigabyte X370-5 today but retailer here in Toronto had the 7700K on sale along with the Gigabyte x270-Gaming 7 so that's what I went with instead. Have been running around picking up the other parts. 90% of my use is gaming, and the rest is netflix & divx so I think it'll serve me just fine. Tossing it into a Fractal Define C w/ side Window. Just cracked the case open tonight to look, super nice case and very awesome attention to detail.

What retailer? I was not aware there was any Micro Center like retailer in all of Canada, let alone Toronto.
In the Toronto area, we have Canada Computers (CC), which I guess it equiv to your Fry's in California, we also have NCIX, which is like Canada Computers but only sell's pc parts, not all electronics. And then of course New Egg etc... but if you want to walk in a purchase a board and cpu, the places to go are CC and NCIX. Both of which ship across Canada, but isn't NCIX also in the US? Both retailers have 10+ locations across the greater Toronto area and Canada, mostly of course in the big cities. There are a handfull of small part retailers but generally I find the bottom barrel prices are at NCIX and CC.
If I were to get a 7700K right now (as in, order today)? No, I'd certainly not regret it, because it would be a hell of a jump from my 3770K. However, it'd be hard to convince myself to get a Skylake 7700K over the Broadwell-E 6800K:
...yeah, it's $155 more which a lot of people may not be willing to justify, but I don't upgrade very often (usually 4-7 years between major overhauls), so I'd probably lay down the extra cash and walk the 6c/12t route for longevity's sake. And that's IF I was ordering today. But, since I'm holding off (again) until next year's tax return, then it's really going to come down to which platform offers the best bang for the buck: Intel X-series (6-10 core, maybe 12 by then), Intel Z-series (4 core, doubtful they would have 6 by then), or AMD X3xx-series (8 core, possibly 12-16 by then).
All in all, I think you'll be very happy with you new 7700K coming from a 2500K.
