I have no idea what Skylake or any of that means. I want an i5 6600K for a gaming build. Is Skylake what I want?
 
Solution
Skylake is a family of processors ranging from high-end Core i7-6700K over upper-midrange Core i5-6600K to budget models like the Core i3-6100.

The Core i5-6600K is a really good option for a gaming build, paired with a Z170 motherboard and a good CPU cooler.
