$500 Upgradable Intel Skylake Gaming Pc Reasoning

Here is the reasoning for the upgradable skylake build. Just like the AMD version im going to be quick and brief about it as the description for both of them are be along the same lines. The main difference for this one is that it runs on the intel platform and usually yields better performance depending on the configuration. Anyways, I started out with the core i3 as it has pretty strong gaming performance and can hold its own in a lot of situations. It won’t rock at professional applications that much but some things are not possible like light video editing. I am not sure if you can stream on it but I guess anything is possible. The upgrade path along the cpu side can take you from a non k i5 or even i7 processor on the skylake platform given that you don’t upgrade the motherboard. Besides the other requirements of skylake, You can’t run dual graphics (sli or crossfire) on the motherboard but starting off the gpu is decent. Again, the purpose of this build was to have a good place to start off while leaving room for upgradability. The gpu can be upgraded to almost anything as long as it is compatible. The case can be changed out; you can add more storage or ram. You could even upgrade the entire system or scrap it and build a new one. The list of options is long. Sorry for the inadequate explanation but going through all the parts individually just doesn’t make sense in this case. I would more than likely be repeating myself as they are all aimed towards the same theme. Anyways that is all for now and I will be coming out with the description for the ultrawide monitor build not too long from now so be ready for that.
