im putting together a new gaming rig for my son, i have a very ltd budget.
im looking at skylake so 1151 sockets & ddr4 for some future proofing with an idea to build a VR capable machine in the future.
im thinking a clocked i3 6100 @ 4.5ghz is going to score pretty well for gaming, but would it better to go with a i5?
ALso the M2 ssd looks promising so thatll be in as well. so far my build is:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £364.91
(includes shipping: £0.00)

with regards to GFX, what would match nicely to the i3 rig? & how well does the onboard gfx on the intel chips perform?
sorry for all the questions but its been along time since i built up pc's and crunched data for seti.
cheers
