budget build

So the current advice seems to be to go with a Skylake CPU; which I'm hesitant to do given their prices are still pretty much the same as they were on launch and they're 2 about years old now. On the GPU front, only Maxwell and earlier are supported; and it's not easy to find a new Maxwell or...
