you guys think a Core i7 7700k can hold a good game performance for 4 years from now?

That's an awesome combination. I have the same CPU and motherboard. 🙂

Thats what Im running with 2x 1080 strix cards! Beast of a machine for a 4 core CPU. Im waiting for the skypake x and x299 to hit the market.
The 7700K is proving to be a great performer and decent overclocker. Got mine to 5.2 Ghz after a delid and liquid cooling.

Better buy 1700X and Crosshair 6 Hero. If you want long lifetime than only Intel X and AMD AM4.
For Intel better wait new socket and chipset for Skylake-E and Kaby Lake-E or invest in AMD AM4.
1800X is best option. I look on marketplace, if something nice show up, Crosshair with 2x 16GB is mine.
People like i7-7700K because he could run on 5.0GHz with watercooling as no one could reach so high frequency.
But for me are more important multi threded performance except if single threded are very slow.

I'd have a serious look at AMD myself. If you are doing 1080p gaming and not much else then sure 7700K is going to serve you well for a good while.
However things are going to move forward and games might well start to take advantage of more cores and AMD give you a lot of cores for a real good price and also good for a whole lot more computing tasks too. For 4K gaming, any advantage 7700K has is already eaten away...

You have a great point indeed. For future proof a 8 core CPU is the best logical option, but i need that the Core i7 7700k be able to maintain a good gaming performance for next 4 years, I am planing my next upgrad in 2021 and like probable i move for 4k game and of the year i think a 4 core CPU can handle it, i see in many test that even with a TITAN X the difference betwen the montes Core i7 6950 and a simple dual core like Core i3 have minimum or none in 4k gaming.
