I am not a gamer. If you're building a gaming rig, buy the excellent Skylake 6700K and be done with it. Game performance is almost entirely based on on GPUs, games generally make poor use of extra cores, and the reference 6700K clocks in at 4GHz. You'll get a better interface to the southbridge via DMI 3.0, you'll draw less power, and you'll save money sufficient to buy a video card. You'll have a lot less PCIe capability, though: Skylake offers 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes, and another 20 via the Southbridge, but the Southbridge only gets 4 DMI 3.0 lanes to the processor.

A 16 lane video card is thus going to monopolize your die's direct PCIe hookup. | ||
