Fancy upgrading to Skylake but you're on a tight budget? Maybe the Intel Core i3's will be just the ticket.
Intel i3 6300T and 6320 Skylake Review

What the actual F happened to Intel prices? An i3 for €170? That's not budget at all, it's literally cheaper to buy an 8320. Used to be able to buy an i5 for that money, but now these are all over €240 including 3 gen old chips like the 3570k, that used to be the price of a low end i7 a year ago.
At least £95 in the UK still seems more reasonable, but even there prices have inflated stupid amounts.
And i think i'd still go for a i5 4460 and a £50 mobo over a new i3 tbh if i was tight on cash.
Well, with an i3 being €170 over here and pairing that up with an average low end ish €70 board that's €240 just for a low end CPU and board.
You know what else I can get for that price? An 8320E with MSI 970 Gaming motherboard and a Hyper 212 Evo. Not a difficult choice at all then is it :lol:

Supply and demand dude. They get bought quicker than they are being made. 14nm ftw right?![]()
Doesn't explain older generations also being massively more expensive now? I think it's just Intel getting greedy tbh :\ We need AMD to bring out Zen and hope it's good.
