Just that little extra cash will net him quite better performance.

I wouldn't buy that Gigabyte B85 board. The original revision of it was outstanding, but later revisions seem to have cheaped out on components causing it to throttle with locked cpus. I remember seeing Bryan at TechYesCity talking about this a few months ago because one of his videos he recommended the original Gigabyte B85M-DS3H for overclocking the G3258.

Just pirate windows over a grey market key if you're trying to save money

Otherwise skylake is finally worth it.
