Having not paid attention to new CPUs for a while, but looking to build something once the 6th gen comes out, what happens to previous gen prices when new CPUs come out? Seems like I'd save on the motherboard and RAM prices on the older stuff as well if the two are close enough in processing power.

I'd wait if you don't have a good reason to upgrade, the leaked benches show Skylake as another very minor bump for gaming unless you are using the IGP.

So no reason to upgrade my 2500K either?

Now that we know about the new CPUs, will an upgrade from a 2500K still not be worth it?
