im looking to build a medium gaming machine, one that can atleast handle games like metro last light.

i would go with this

CPU (Processor): http://amzn.to/1fAIuOS
GPU (Graphics): http://amzn.to/1TNfbIJ
Mainboard: http://amzn.to/1gMsTwm
RAM: http://amzn.to/1He07Al
HDD (Hard-Disk): http://amzn.to/1GpL15e
PSU (Power-Supply): http://amzn.to/1GywFi3
Case: http://amzn.to/1Ka4MCv

should hit ultra in most games, sits around $700
i can personally vouch for the graphics card

The last thing you want to do if you're building a midrange rig is to go for the last processor socket generation. Here's a Skylake partslist which allows for future expansion: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tokthree/saved/kW6WGX

skylake doesn't even offer a big performance difference yet

1151 is like the same as 1150 so far.
But the price difference was so little, may as well go skylake.

It's more about the fact that it's the latest socket for intel CPU's with all the current compatibilities. If you're building a midrange rig then you want as much room to improve as possible and the last thing you want to have to do is buy a new motherboard and memory a year or two down the line just because it's the only way to upgrade your CPU. It's the same reason why you spend money on a PSU that puts out more wattage than you need; so that you don't need to buy a new PSU just to upgrade your GPU later on
