Although I do agree about wait for Zen, and you should. Don't be afraid to look at 6700k we have all seen how little improvement Intel chips have made over the years and the price of them have dropped with the release of 7700k. Unless there is a particular thing on 270 board you want you could save the money and spend it on something else. Just trying to add another view point. But unless you have to get it right now....... Wait for Zen

Don't know why the 8350 is in there, especially if you want it for 2 - 4 years, if you want it now, go the 7700k, no brainer. Wait for zen to be disappointed and have expectations crushed, who knows when it's really going to come out. I don't believe in waiting on tech though

Q1 2017, meaning sometimes in the next 2 months.

If you expect Zen to cure cancer and make free blowjobs - yes. You will be disappointed.
If you expect a CPU with competitive performance to nowadays Intel - you may not be..

Because it's the cheapest option. He already have 970 chipset am3+ board.
