Hi guys,

So last night I was shifting my components to a new case and it appears somewhere along the line, something broke.

TL;DR - I press the power button and nothing turns on but PSU does work (Paper Clip Test succesful)

By the looks of it, the Mobo has died so I need to replace it.

However, a part of me is tempted to upgrade the lot to the new Skylake processors and the entry point to this is the i3 6100.

Now, all I do is play games. No encoding or anything like that.

The 4670 I have is the non-K so I can't OC it so upgrading to Skylake now will allow me to get an i5 later next year.

Thoughts?
