Intel 2nd vs 4th vs 6th gen combo?

[Antrophin3]

All the following combos are around 270$, here in Bosnia.
Which one to choose, for gaming purposes, mostly?

2nd gen
ASUS Z77
Intel i5-2500K
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR3 1600MHz CL10 KIT

4th gen
ASROCK Z97 Anniversary
INTEL Core i3-4160 3.60GHz 1150 BOX
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR3 1600MHz CL10 KIT

6th gen
ASROCK Z170 Pro4S ddr4
INTEL Pentium G4400 3.30GHz 1151 BOX
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HX421C14FB/8

I already own: SAPPHIRE 280x, SSD 250GB SAMSUNG evo 850

Any other similar i5 CPU of the newer gen is nearly double the price compared to i5-2500k, here in Bosnia, and my budget is limited.
Even the i3 6100 paired with cheapest DDR3 and z170 motherboard costs 40$ more, and cheapest DDR4 and z170 MB is 80$ more.

Get the i5. You are just throwing money away on the other two.

This is a no brainer. get the i5. that 2500k is still great value and will be for a while.

The 6th gen has an upgrade path .
But it is not as powerful as the i5

If you can change the processor to a 6th gen i3 then I would probably choose that . It would even be overclockable on that motherboard
