I'm torn between getting a skylake cpu or a Haswell, if I got the skylake cpu it would cost me an extra £40 for DDR4 but the Haswell I'd be using my current ram, hyperx 2x4 1866mhz DDR3. It would either be the i5 4690 or i5 6500, my main question here is would it be worth the extra £40 for the new ram. I will also note that I'd be buying a new motherboard either way

honestly if you can get a decent cpu & motherboard the haswells go good i built 1 on a budget using a gigabyte motherboard & i3 8gig ram a decent video card & astonishes me the amount of grunt online if your a gamer i did it as it cost me using a psu ram brand new hhd brand new mother board 2nd hand cpu brand new ram for $530nz & goes as good i finding alot of haswell parts coming online but they go as good or better than any skylakes they are a step backward but they still are a good socket just if you go haswell always stock up on the odd spare mother board if you see them cheap as an incase in future of can sell in time . End of the day to buy the same parts for a skylake your still spending & extra as all new ram cpu & odd plug in &...
