Ratul Chakrabarty asks for advice on purchasing the i5 6500 with a Z170-A motherboard. He mentions considering a cooler and future overclocking if needed for demanding games. He notes that for BCLK overclocking on Skylake, a Z170 chipset isn't necessary—just a motherboard with independent clock generators for BCLK and PCIe works well. He suggests this offers flexibility without extra upfront costs.
