Question for you gurus out there..

I'm looking to upgrade my processor to a 8700k in the next couple months or so. I'm currently using a 7700k, and I did some research and my current mobo doesn't support the 8700k so I'll have to buy a new one if I want to go that rout.

Is it a process to switch out a mobo to support the new chip? I've only ever done complete rebuilds and GPU upgrades. Never needed to switch mobo before.

What is the reason for the upgrade?

What are your other specs?

What is the performance/experience goal?

What's wrong with your 7700?
