700-800€ i5 Skylake gaming build

Hackas

Hi

 

I'm making new build for a friend, he will use this for gaming, but he's not some performance freak that wants top FPS at best settings, he just wants PC to be able to run games for couple of years.

He wanted something in range of 700-800€ and this is what i came up with (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Dj4rTW):

Thanks for suggestions. 

Will most likely go with R9 380 or perhaps even take Abdul201588 build but downgrade to R9 380 to get cheaper build.

Is it worth paying more for i5 6xxx over i5 4xxx?
