Is an i5 6400, H110m & 8GB DDR4 good?

Technically yes i could, but i don't know how pricing/availability will be.

Btw i didn't base that assumption off that site, i checked actual benchmark videos

Also, i'm talking about the locked 2600. The 2600k and 2700k aren't even available

All I can say is I wouldn't buy a 4c/4t i5, it's just too limiting, especially being on a platform with no upgrade path.

And overall it seems like it's not going to be much of an upgrade.

Not much of an upgrade from a 7 year old platform's 2nd lowest i3 2c/4t? That doesn't sound right

Well what kind of fps do you get in the games you play? Your GPU is also a bit of a limiting factor for 1080p at least.

I'm on 900p and get for example 100% cpu usage in games like BO3, and even if i lower my settings my fps don't improve, battlefront 2 gives me crazy stuttering and popping, gta V, bf4 same story as BO3. Most games overall except kinda old ones give me 100% cpu usage and it runs at around 85C under load. Stuttering is pretty common too

I'd probably go for the i7 slot in option, doesn't the i5 end up costing more in that case?

It does, but i also get ddr4 ram, less tdp and temps and all that, but in the end i might not even go for this combo as the ram appears to be a single 8gb ddr4 dimm. I'm asking the dude if he has any dual channel kit instead but if he doesn't he can forget it

EDIT: He does but they're $20 more expensive. Is it worth it?

DDR3 to DDR4 really doesn't matter for gaming, and isn't it going to be the cheapest DDR4? like 2133mhz or 2400mhz?

2400 in fact. Again, is the difference between single 8gb vs 2x4gb worth the extra 20?

Probably not too big of a difference for single vs dual, not sure there's been much testing on that, maybe 15-20% at the most in some games. Really depends on the title.

Did my research and definitely going dual channel. About as much difference as you said, which is a lot. Thanks for everything
