This is not my purchase though. It was a suggestion for my elder brother since he wanted to upgrade his computer which is being cpu bottleneck. Both of us used the Z97 biostar with G3258. I have moved on to a Ryzen 1700 already I thought of suggesting the same thing but ram prices are expensive unlike the low point where I bought it. He wanted to upgrade to a 4790k but I can't find any around and their price is pretty high at ebay same as it once retail price. I search around and I suggested an i3 skylake with motherboard that support ddr3 so he can recycle his crucial vlp ddr3 ram in the build thus avoiding the high ram prices. Finding a ddr3 skylake board is hard their very rare now. To cut story short I found the Gigabyte on ebay for a very good price being less than a $100. He said he wanted 4 cores but looking at local retailer is expensive, try second hand market yet he don't want. Went to ebay again found 7700k on discount which is cheaper than local here by at least a $100. Told him it is great deal and he grabbed it lol. Was kinda jealous he got a good deal upgrade lol.
I don't know how well this worked now with ddr3, got to test it. At least his 32GB ddr3 is not wasted. Even ddr3 are a rare breed nowadays, I could not find his ddr3 model on ebay at all.
I'll update with more pics later when this all are open. I do purchase other puchase I have which I had yet to show off, I am not in the mood for it.
