I'm planning on building my first PC, but I don't know a whole lot about computers, so I could use some help. I don't know whether to build a Haswell or Skylake.
What will I be using the computer for? Most likely gaming along with some simple school tasks.
The games I plan on playing: Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, Rust, Fractured Space, etc.
I know building a Haswell would be cheaper, but Skylake would be more future proof. However, I would like to build mine compatible with Windows 7, and from what I've been reading, it's not very possible with Skylake. I have about $800 to spend.
My build if it were a Skylake:
i5 6500
HDD
8 GB RAM
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Windforce GPU
My build if it were a Haswell:
i5 4590k
(everything else would be the same aside from the RAM, which would be DDR3)
