Hi!

My original plan was to buy an i3-4130, r9 280, a cheap mobo, cheap case, standard hdd and psu and no ssd.

Today I got an idea: since skylake is going to use another cpu socket I would have to buy a new mobo as well when I'll be buying a new cpu. So I though that maybe I would get a better case, better psu and an ssd for the cost of getting the pentium g3258 and a r9 270.

What would you suggest doing? I wouldnt change the i3 for about 3-4 years and would have better performance today but later on I would have to purchase a better case (since the 50€ ones aren't exactly special), new mobo and probabbly a ssd.

But if I would get those "extras" today and live with a pentium for 2 years, maybe that would be a good plan.

So what do you guys suggest- get a better cpu +gpu today and spend another 200-300€ later for upgrades or survive with the pentium until skylake?

Thank you

I would get the best today. But that's just me.

See thats my problem - in the future I will have to spend 100€ for the case+ the current case 50€= extra 50€, the pentium would also save me about 50-70€ later on

Get a good case, PSU, maybe a SSD and try to survive with the Pentium ;)
