Haswell or Skylake for Pentium?

[Gripen90]

Me and my brother are building an extremely budget oriented system for my niece (his daughter). We initially bought a used core i3 4150 system with case, HDD etc, but somehow our postal service managed to loose a 8.2kg package and we are waiting for the postal sservices to give compensation for the lost pc.
Therefore we decided to buy all new stuff again but on a very very tight budget. We have decided on ram, case, psu, HDD, dvd Rom - as for graphics we are using a spare Gigabyte HD7850 2GB I have.

The choice we have is two of the following setups
ASROCK H81M VG4 & Intel Pentium G3258
or
ASROCK H110M-DGS & Intel Pentium G4400

Which option is the best way to go? We hope in a 3-4months time to upgrade the cpu to a core i3.

Hmm it's a hard choice

Go skylake in Z170 board. Then upgrade to i3 which can OC in certain Z170 now. Done!!

That was also a thought we had briefly, but we couldn't make it within the tight budget... remembering that the postal service already lost an 8.2kg package containing a complete PC, and we are still awaiting compensation - money is very scarce

But the the end, we have now ordered this:
Cooler Master Elite 432 mATX
Enermax MaxPro EMP600AGT 600w (was cheaper than the 500w version)
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB, 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 7200 rpm
ASRock H81M-VG4 2.0
Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz
G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 8GB (2 x 4GB DIMM 240-pin) 1600 MHz / PC3-12800
LiteOn iHAS124 DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM

Total of £229,38.

The "reasoning" behind choosing Haswell instead of Skylake was
1) better performance right now out the box with the G3258 OC'ed.
2) There's a larger used/2nd hand market out there with Haswell core i3/core i5 CPU's, meaning a cheaper upgrade path in the near future. Not a lot of people are selling their Skylake i3/i5.

I got hold of a core i5-3570K used for £45 and bought ASRock H61M-DGS - 2.0 new for £32 instead.
