intel core I3 vs. I5

[fryingpanpoptart]

So i'm completely new to pc and I bought a prebuilt pc. now i want to upgrade everything but with current events moneys pretty tight so im upgrading 1 or 2 things at a time so i want to make sure that the I5 will fit.

Define what you currently have and how much you want to spend.

If you can, share a pcpartpicker.com parts list.

I have an Ibuypower win an intel core I3 9100F I would like to keep it under $200 or $250 max. (idk what all you need to know like i said im new to PC)

You could get a i5 9400f if you have a dedicated graphics card

its a 6core 6thread  cpu and will be an upgrade over the i3

I was looking at a Asus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Phoenix Video Card how will that do?

Do you not have a dedicated graphics card in there as is?

If you have the space and budget that will be fine but it is A bit underpowered

The 1050 ti is about equal in performance to your current graphics card

I highly suggest looking for a used CPU like a core i5-8400, you might find it cheaper. Otherwise look at pcpartpicker.com listings for good prices. 

 

As for graphics card, a 1660 super is one of the best value graphics cards you can get. If you're not looking to spend that much money, I highly recommend it.
