CPU choice

Go to solution Solved by HKZeroFive,

I guess the i3 4170 is best suited at that price point.

 

I'd honestly save up some more for an i5 though.

what are you going to use it for?

Basically you're looking at an i3 and not much else. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i34170

If you can find a cheap i5 on a deal or something that would be great, but for 100 GBP that would be pushing it a bit. Cheapest one on PCPartPicker is 144 GBP http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460
