What is better?

[Telebubbies]

Hey guys! What is better for my new PC build?

Should I get rid of my SSD and get a i5 6600 and a msi z170 motherboard and DDR4 2400MHz RAM, or keep my SSD and have a Intel i5-4590 3.3 GHz (not unlocked), DDR3 1600MHz RAM and a MSI H97 GAMING 3 motherboard?

Thanks in advance!

Get rid of the ssd

How about an i5 6500 with a H170/B150 motherboard instead with an SSD since you can't overclock and the extra cost of the i5 6600 isn't worth it. Should be much cheaper.

im of the school that thinks ssd's are the last thing you add, they will only help slightly in very specific senarios, a better cpu will help a lot in most cases

Do you know a good motherboard that allows 1151 skylake CPUs under $250? 

Thanks!

I'd go on PCPartPicker and look for a H170/B150 that'll fit your colour scheme the best.
