I have 2x gf470 (it's a gift) and i want to build PC. I definitely want new skylake (z170, 8gb DDR4) and I wonder if i5-6500 is enough? I prefer to not overclocking, but I can deal with this. And I want to wait at least a year before getting a new graphic card (save some money...).

2 GTX 470 cards, correct? You can use them and not have to worry about bottlenecking however these cards are old and you may be a little underwhelmed by the amount of performance they are capable of. Especially with all the noise and heat they are likely to produce.

As far as I know, the i5 6500 is not available to purchase yet.

Yes 2gtx 470. I know about the heat and noise and I am OK with that...
In our country is i5 6500 avaiable from 14th Sept. in e-shops (15th stores).
Thanks for reply.
