Hi,

Finally after release of Skylake , i have decided to replace my ageing 5 year old laptop. I only have a keyboard and would need all other components.

I don't do these often , but would love to be able to play some latest games, do some Photoshop and video editing.

I also tend to do a lot of development work , C++/Python (but nothing that requires any overkill mathematical computations).

I have no inclination towards Skylake or the older generations, I am not really big on overclocking but would happy to consider.
I am not in a great rush (can hold out of another month if that affects the pricing of the older gen - which if you guys think might suit me better). Ideally would like it to last another 3-4 years.

Cheers!

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally tempted by X99. Just about 120~ more than what i can afford at the moment. I'll sleep on that tonight. Regarding coolers, are they dependent on the CPU as well? i.e is a 6600K cooler different from 5820K cooler?

Thanks for your help mate!
 
Thanks for all your help guys. Pulling the trigger on this on Saturday. Just making sure i dont need anything else ? Cabling etc will be included i hope? Any specific tools necessary , I do have a generic set i picked up from B&Q , will post a pic when i get back home.

I decided to go with a set of speakers instead of a headset to start.
