Should i go with i5 6400 and delay the gpu purchase even more or go with i3 6100 and probably get gpu earlier than in i5 case? Currently i have radeon hd 6570 1gb ddr3 and i can use it until i make enough cash for new gpu.

What GPU would you be looking at if you got the i3?

Probably r9 380

Hm maybe get the i5 and wait for the new AMD cards to launch? You might get a good deal with these or get the old ones even cheaper by then.
