I'm starting to think AMD Zen is just a myth.

Wait for Zen you unbeliever!
(I'm also waiting for Zen to upgrade my 3570K)
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I would wait for zen how it performs in real world without AMD own tests, kaby lake seems to be failure, not worth to wait.

In that case X99 platfrom should be your choice at this moment.

Yeah also looking for more cores here.. hopefully Zen will deliver good single core performance.
I have a 3570k@4.2Ghz and it's holding back my gtx1080 quite a bit and prevents me from supersampling in VR. The CPU can't handle it.

What the hell.. wait 2 years ++ for a company that always lagged behind and has failed me with every CPU and GPU generation for the past 15 years ? Sounds crazy

wait for it!
edit: Well of course I dont trust AMD to finally deliver on the CPU front. But there is a chance. And since my 3570K is still good enough for everything I do, I can just sit back and see how it develops. In case it turns out a turd, well intel procs will not have suddenly vanished by then. Just get the next best intel core iteration and be done with it. I'd be surprised if it was any different with Paxsalis 8-threaded i7-2600. Maybe a bit old, not the best min FPS but still very much an ok CPU.
But of course if you absolutely need something new today. By all means, buy Skylake. Kabylake is not going to be that much better except maybe its power management and its integrated GPU, but both those things dont matter for Desktop ayway.
IMO waiting for kabylake is useless, since its very much predictable how boring that upgrade will be. Waiting for Zen is actually a bit exciting.
