very confused
skylake is what intel calls their 6000 series processors.
the next series will be the zen series
look them up yourself for more info, i don't know much myself
i have built my own pc though,
and i used this guide to do itthis guide is great because it's uncut, so nothing is blown over in editing like in a lot of other videos. there is one part that has no footage though, you'll know when you get to it. he tries to explain what you're supposed to do without the footage when it happens.
definitely use pcpartpicker to pick your computer parts. pick your cpu and gpu first, then pick a motherboard. if you do it in that order, you should only be able to pick motherboards compatible with your selections. make sure you research the parts you're getting before finalizing anything. this means looking up benchmarks for your cpu/gpu, making sure your motherboard doesn't have any firmware problems, etc.
when you're selecting a power supply unit, make sure it's a bronze 80+ certified or better. PSU's without these certifications WILL fry your computer.
it's important in general to pick quality parts. better parts will obviously cost more, but you get what you pay for.
consider getting a solid state drive alongside a normal hard drive. SSD's are faster but cost a lot more than an HHD. they're best used for the OS and other important programs you want to boot up quickly.
