I have the option to get an i5 4460, with a mobo. I just wanted to know if instead I should get an i5 6660 and save up a little more money for the DDR4?

 

Upgrading from my FX-8350 btw.

 

 

Ryzen 5 1600 - GTX 980 Ti - Broke.

IMO not worth investing in Skylake, i would try to get an unlocked chip though.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Get the Haswell if its alot cheaper. If not, then maybe a the Skylake. You wont notice much a perfomance gain from Haswell to Skylake/Kaby Lake. 

 

You could wait it out for AMD but its gonna take a while :)

 

IMHO, 4460 + Mobo.
