Hello,
A friend has counter-suggested a build I've given him below:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £457.54
(includes shipping: £11.70)
His suggestion:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £617.03
(includes shipping: £14.10)
Let's say OCUK build the first suggestion, for say £65, so actually it comes to £522.54
Which build would you go for and why? Other than the obvious price diff
This following link suggests the Skylake i3 has a 4% edge over the G4560:

I also believe the mobo would limit the RAM to 2133 MHz (maybe a BIOS update might fix this?) although real world usage is going to be no difference.
I see no benefit to the Skylake build.
Cheers
