Haswell with a better PSU.

 

EDIT: Saw the Corsair case and my eyes rolled to the 430w bronze PSU and i misread it as a Corsair CX430

first build.

Skylake won't make enough of a difference to make up for the clock speed bump of the 4460.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case
