what are you going to use it for?

A secondary rig, mainly looking to get as good multi core performance as possible

[aisle9]

You can get an Athlon X4 860K and a cheap mobo for about $125-130 total, or a G3258 and a cheap mobo for $100-120. If you bump your price up by $10 to $160, you can get an i3-6100 and H110M mobo.

 

Going used opens up more possibilities.

Get the i3-6100 with the H119M mbo. You can try getting these parts used.

That rig is a little unstable and also being used for something else at the moment, but am strongly considering selling that rig, upping the budget, and buying a 6600k and z170 board to put in my main rig and then use the stuff in my main rig for this pc.

Okay, Note that I meant 110M, the 119M doesn't exist.

doing the xeon mod on that rig will raise the value of the rig since everything is predone for them and its much better than the q9650 CPUs

How about these two if multi-core is your priority at that price?

yes, but then I have to replce the power supply to sell the rig, I would just part it out, probably make more money too

downside is that the FX linup of CPUs are pretty dead. wait for AMD to release Zen

yep, I am strongly considering selling all my old junk and buying a z170 board and 6600k to put in my main rig and then using the old ones for the other one

good idea. id say sell all your junker PCs to make something, better than nothing then just using all that money to buy a proper gaming computer, for me i never upgrade my computer so when i buy something i make sure its top of the line of today so it will stay strong for many years to come. im still using my 10 year old AM2+ motherboard as my main gaming PC as of now until i can get my sleeper rig built.
