U are comparing 3 different gens of CPUs. If u are planning on getting new mobo+CPU just tell us your maximum budget and we can pick the best for you. 

 

U can get brand new i5 or used one with better performance for less money (probably Haswell refresh, no point going back to sandy/ivy bridge).

Connection: 200mbps / 12mbps 5Ghz wifi

My baby: CPU - i7-4790, MB - Z97-A, RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb, GPU - MSI GTX 1060, PSU - CXM 600, Storage - Evo 840 120gb, MX100 256gb, WD Blue 1TB, Cooler - Hyper Evo 212, Case - Corsair Carbide 200R, Monitor - Benq  XL2430T 144Hz, Mouse - FinalMouse, Keyboard -K70 RGB, OS - Win 10, Audio - DT990 Pro, Phone - iPhone SE

I already own a i5 2400, h61 mobo, h81 mobo and a i3 4170. the other i5 has been offered to me for free from a mate. im aslo well awear im judging 3 different gens

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

You could ask him to do a benchmark or look up results for 2400 and 3335s (can be hard to find, it's not as common)

 

Quick googling resulted in very similar performance between 2400 and 3335s.  I'm sure if I did a deeper one it would continue with same results.

okay cool. its coming out of a dead mac (it will probs be fine as we found one of the ram chips was dead so that likely was it) so no benchmark lol.

so it looks like (in multi-threaded workloads):

2400 is 23% better than the 4170

2400 is 6% better than the 3335s
