Hey everyone

So i'm looking for a better CPU to pair with my GTX 970 as i currently have a stock FX 6300.
I was looking at the new Skylake Platform as it will hold better in time because of the use of DDR4.

I was just wondering wether it would be better going with skylake, and having to buy another kit of Ram or go with Haswell and buy a faster CPU instead like a Zeon or I5 4690K.

Just so you know, I live in Australia so our prices are though the roof.

Thanks

Thanks man, Thats probably what ill end up going with. You think the jump to Skylake from Haswell is worth the extra 100$
