[earltacneng123]

Im planning to get a simple rig and was wondering what would go better for my 200$ mobo and cpu combo. I was looking for an asus h97m plus and an i3 4170 or an i3 6100 and an msi h170m pro vdh

6100 is noticeably faster, if you can afford it go for it.

there is only one problem if not mistaken the i3-4170 is LGA 1150 while the i3-6100 is LGA 1151 thus not making it compatible with the i3-4170. So there is your answer.

He was also comparing 2 mobos. read the whole post.

@earltaceng123 the 6100 is probably worth it. better performance and better upgrade path.

This answers your question.

 

 

 

Go for skylake. It's DDR4. You can upgrade to 6700k anytime in future.
