logic done right:
"Don't buy a 8700K since AM4 will be supported for a long time and Zen 2 will offer slightly better IPC and slightly higher clocks, even though 8700K already offers great IPC and is a huge clocker. "
I'm not saying Zen doesn't have its advantages, but buy a 8700K now, OC to 5GHz and pair it with some fast (3200MHz or higher) DDR4 and you have a CPU that will rip through anything coming in the more foreseeable and distant future.
If the OP needs Zen 2, he might just pull the trigger on the 8700K now. Why bother waiting for Zen 2 when you have this ?
