What are the best i3?

Is a skylake i3 better than a haswell i5?

Should i get a skylake i3 or stick with cheaper haswell i3?

Haswell i5 > Skylake i3 > Haswell i3

From what I understood, you already do own a i3, it's just a haswell one, correct? If so, you won't see any improvement regarding FPS between the skylake one the haswell one. Skylake is basically a refresh of the CPU.

Go for a i5!

If you don't have a motherboard either, then I would advise you to go for the skylake one since it will offer you more upgradeability in the future.

i5 4th > i3 6th > i3 4th

It totally depends on how you are going to use your PC, with 6th gen you will not get monster increase in performance compare to older 43th gen but newer gen is better than old. With sky lake  i3 you will get 3.7GHz , 2 cores , 4 thread and hyper threading, and with i5 you will get 4 cores , 4 threads, turbo boost. Make a note hyper threading is better than non hyper threading but more cores is better than hyper threading.

So if you are going to use your computer for internet surfing or playing games like CS Go and little bit multi tasking, this type of work don't utilize more than 2 cores, i am saying  " generally " i5 come with speed around 3.2 GHz to 3.4GHz. Here i3 is better option than i5 in term of performance and money  because here singal core i3 has higher clock speed and you little bit multi tasking will be handle by hyper threading  . But if you are going to use your computer to play AAA titles and some heavy works like using virtual machine and working at normal machine at same time in this kind of use i5 will give you much better performance compare to i3 because most of the games are optimized to use up to 4 cores and when some thing using 4 cores it will give you much better performance than dual core with hyper threading.

My personal choice is i5 because it will give you all round performance. With 4 cores it can easily handle multitasking or core hunger software , with turbo boost it will increase clock speed of the cores which are in use when other cores are not busy (increase performance when only 1 or 2 core is in use)
