Hi everyone

I am looking at building a new PC for doing 3d work - mainly Maya, ZBrush and game engines. I don't think I have personally built a PC for 10 years (I am currently a mac user, but want back to PC). I have started digging around looking at components, and things are a lot more overwhelming than when I looked so long ago :)

My main toss up is whether to go Haswell or Skylake - from articles I read some say one, some say the other.

Anyone got any tips? suggestions? Any comments on other components of a build would be welcome too! I was thinking along the lines of this: http://newbcomputerbuild.com/newb-computer-build/november-2015-monthly-gaming-pc-builds/#1500-pc-build - but still trying to decide whether to go skylake or Haswell.

Cheers everyone!
