My current desktop has an i5-2500k and a really bad Gigabyte motherboard. The motherboard does have overclocking settings and features, but always ends up being really unstable with them. (If something causes the PC to shut down unexpectedly, the BIOS instantly resets to factory default settings) This forces me to leave my processor at stock speeds.
Should I purchase a new processor and motherboard when the new Intel Skylake processors are available for purchase, or should I just purchase a new motherboard for my current i5 and not worry about the new line of Intel processors?
The motherboard also refuses to run RAM in dual-channel now so I've been using single-channel RAM for about 5 months. This could be another possible reason for upgrading, but I'm not entirely sure.
Let me know what you recommend!
