I'm finally building a new gaming PC after years of running with 30 fps in minimum. My experience is limited at best and right now i have some unsolved questions in my mind.
1. Should i go for the skylake or haswell i5 core on my configuration ?
2. Should i choose DDR3 or DDR4? As i see DDR4 has much higher CAS latency than DDR3.
3. Should i go for an i5 K processor or a non-K one would suffice? I don't know the pros and cons at all.

My initial plan was a build with an i5 4590 , z97x- gaming 3 , 16 gb kit with CL9 , 1866 Mhz. Now i am thinking about an i5 6600k , a GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 mobo and have no ideea on the RAM.
