Intel's Core i5 6600K...Obsolete in 2026?

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Budget Builds Episode, where today we're taking a look at Intel's Core i5 6600K?!? Yes this video didn’t turn out quite as I planned, I went into this ordering a high-end but also very very cheap Skylake Bundle...Assuming that there’s no way that these CPUs have fallen from grace so fast...But nope turns out most people flogging Skylake these days wont be selling you a Celeron to protect the pins...They’re going to give you a proper K Series CPU, and maybe they'll even leave their overclock on it for you. So join me as we find out if after 10 years...Is Intel Skylake Core i5 Finally Done For? Enjoy the videos?
