I have a Skylake build on the way for the wife. Look forward to this. Hopefully will earn some brownie points for my Ryzen system.

Bribery, pure and simple. Good thinking.

Newegg has some killer deals.

Be real interesting to see the benches between the two systems. Get some bragging rights going :)

As soon as it's built it will be getting the benchmarks all my systems get. It will be an i5-6500 vs the Ryzen 5 1600.

I put that same i5 in my sons computer. Very happy with it.

Can not go wrong with an i5. My work computer has a i5-4570 in it and it has not left me hanging yet. The 2 7200RPM drives have though.... The only reason my FX-6300 still runs decently is the SSD and the 16GB RAM. Wife's rig will only have a HDD though.

Speaking of Corsair

From Microsoft's OEM TV at Channel 9

We recently caught up with Corsair, best known for device components, to talk about their decision to bring a full Corsair gaming desktop to market in the Corsair One desktop. What happens when a components manufacturer builds their own complete system? The answer to that question may surprise you. Watch this episode of OEM TV to find out some of the most intriguing design decisions we have seen in a while.

Yeah it is!
And the rep is right, it would look good anywhere.

I remember reading the Corsair One can be expanded but has to be shipped off to do so or it voids the warranty. You can't even upgrade the RAM yourself.
