It's expensive, but it's 65w with Iris Pro... Not sure if there are any Skylake parts with that yet.
You'd mentioned you would have been happy with using an old Bulldozer FX4 chip, so do you really need the performance of an i5? Could save money and just opt for an i3 based Skylake?
Or again, go the FM2+ route with a 7850K for under £100.

If money was no concern at all, right now I'd buy the 65w Broadwell i5 for a low power ITX gaming PC.

Thanks.

That i5 looks awesome! What mini ITX mobo and ram would be best and would a Pico PSU run it all,with an SSD!

Ok, let's make it simple.

Option 1:
Zotac Magnus EN970, ~£570
Corsair Vengeance LV SO-DIMM 2x4GB, DDR3L-1600, ~£35
Your old SSD, £0
Total: £605

Option 2:
Raijintek Metis, ~£35 or Streacom FC8 Alpha, ~£110
AMD A10-7800, ~£90
picoPSU 120W + 120W brick, ~£50
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI, ~£70
G.Skill Ares 2x4GB DDR3-2133, ~£50
Your old SSD, £0
Total: £295-370

Edit:
Forgot to mention that someone else can represent more direct solutions for Intel ITX systems.
And like I said earlier, I would personally opt for the first option (EN970).

Thank you. First option too expensive
 
Well, after all that i have just been given a 2nd hand Antec 300 case! I used to own one years ago too! My friend was getting rid and it is in superb condition. Problem is, i only have an SSD to go in it now! lol.

Been looking at ITX but something is telling me to go back to Micro ATX. The above case would be good for that.

My friend has also said he has a GPU i can have but still waiting to find out what it is so i will leave this part of the forum and post elsewhere as ITX looks to be just a distant dream now! lol
