Just found this thread- doing a build for a friend- so you guys still think Skylake is the way to go? This person probably wont overclock-= so I wont bother with the "K" model. His is a big gamer. Wants at least 16gb of DDR4 RAM.
I guess that is only 20 bucks difference. And actually when I look at the Haswell "k" version at 3.5 Mhz is it actually more expensive than the Skylake I linked. SO, I guess I answered my own question.
If the person is buying new and doesn't already have a decent Intel rig then no reason not to get Skylake. Plus DDR4 got cheap. I found 8GB for 39 bucks the other day.
