So we thought we’d visit a few of our favourites (like Wootware, RebelTech and Evetech) and give you the lowdown on what to expect.

*Table and pricing, in part, thanks to MyBroadband.
Just keep in mind that for as good as some of these prices may seem, there are a number of additional costs to consider when adopting a Skylake CPU.
How many of you plan on moving over to Skylake?
Keeping with the theme of hardware pricing
A hefty price tag: AMD’s R9 Nano is priced locally
Oculus Rift to cost at least $300: that’s R4000 plus
Would you look at that, an 8K R1.8 million TV
An R9 Nano powers this nearly R100, 000, 10 TFlop PC
