Hello guys and gals. I have been saving money for some time(every long time 
university student here) and was going to buy a core i3 6100 with a gtx 750ti, 8gb ram, 450w PSU, but a friend of mine bought a sandy-bridge based system with a core i7 2600k with 12gb ram. The only thing he changed was the PSU and then used the rest of his savings on a gtx980.
The total cost of his build was half of what i would spend on my system. Is it a good idea to do the same thing he did? I can get a core i7 2600k, add 16gb ram, an ssd, a 550w psu and a gtx 970 for the same price as the skylake build. Thanks.
