Hello everyone.
Going to put together a set-up for my son. He already has a GPU (he's been using it in dad's antiquated rig. Yep, it's still kicking...)

Not looking for a monster system, just something to game comfortably on for a while. Was originally looking at a 1150 socket set-up with a 4790k, but I've missed out on so many generations, I'm not sure whether I'd realize the move to Skylake (or if it is even necessary.)
Never thought when I joined that I'd be in this position, but life keeps marchin' on.
Looking forward to some input from you fine folks and willing to see the "error of my ways"!
Cheers,
Bryan
