1406004 2015-08-07 05:05:00 Yeah, the 6700ks are slightly over $600 retail here. I think PB's $603 is the lowest I've seen so far. Although the Z170-based boards do start just under $300 ($280ish is the cheapest I've spotted so far), if you're going for a 6700K, you won't want to go with the cheapest board, so budget $350 to $400. inphinity (7274)

Suddenly the new PC itch has started building again.
