This is the build that I have so far. Originally, I wanted to use a Skylake build but as I've been looking at other Skylake builds on /r/BuildaPC and here I've seen comments that there is little to no difference between Skylake and Haswell for gaming. Is it better to stick to a Haswell i5 and DDR3 RAM?
