phaolo: That's the best non-Skylake i7, right?
It costs 170€ more than the i5-4790k however, so.. probably nope.

PainOfSalvation: i5-4790k doesn't exist, i7 however does. :P Best Haswell-E is i7-5960X but i7-5820K is best cost-effective cpu for the money. Dunno about the prices in Italy but here in Serbia i could get i7-4790K for 315 eur and i7-5820K for 365 eur which is only 50 eur difference.
Too many models @_@
I meant 4690.

i5 4690k is still overkill for most games at the moment. At the moment its equivalent to the new i5-6500 on Skylake architecture which basically has the same speed and processing power and is at the moment recommended as the high end processor.

Does anyone own a Skylake here?
Can you check if SGX can be disabled in the BIOS?
Also, I wonder if they could work at all in Win7..

Damn, I was ready to buy a Skylake with the current good prices..
But that SGX...

BUMP during the promo.
People with Skylake, please post here.

*update*

Elsewhere I was reassured that Z170 mobos would have had a SGX toggle in the BIOS, so I decided to buy a Skylake.
Well, I couldn't find any, even with the latest version!

Luckly I noticed that my CPU model is one of those shipped without SGX lol.
Hopefully I avoided some crappy feature and not something great O_o'

I've now assembled the pc, installed a custom Win7 iso and I'm currently fighting with driver installations and Win Update XD

The (real) boot is so fast with an SSD :' )

An i5-6600K : )
The rest is the same in the OP, but I chose the case Fractal Design Define R5.
I'd also like a new powerful GPU and G-synch display, but they currently cost like the rest of the computer..
