Hi guys
My buddy gave me his old q6600 pc
Specs are:q6600.Intel mobo.gigabyte Odin 585w psu. Hd 6870 oc windforce.3gb ddr3 ram
Since last gen consoles like the ps3 are being obsolete I thought I should upgrade this rig
So what I want to know is which skylake lga 1151 motherboard should i go for?
And I thought of going for a core i3 4th gen but since its a dual core i thought a core i5 6500 would be more suitable.so which one should i go for.
I don't know about the gpu will it bottleneck or should i get a gt730,8gb ram coisar vengeance.I'm not looking for a "high end rig" just something that would get me sweet fps in gta v, fifa 16 and rise of tomb raider 1080p and at least be stable when gta vi busts out

Wait, is q6600 the processor? That's an old LGA 775 chip. Almost nothing will be transferable over besides power supply, and video card.

Also, the HD 6870 video card, while not that great by today's standards, is still a notably better performer than the GT730.
