new micro build a cpu

[jschwisow348]

big question I wanna get away from haswell chip I have a i5-4570 on a z87- c mobo

 

looking to get the i3-6100 and a mobo bets suited for it

 

also wanna pick up the corsair 240 case?

 

I heard there isn't a huge difference in the old haswell i5 and the new i3 6th gen hyperthreaded cpu? is that correct

IMO, you're much, much better off with a 4570 than you are with a 6100.

what about i5-6500 is that better the 4570 gaming pc wise

I agree with @aisle9, you're going to lose performance moving that way. If you want the new case go for it, but I don't see any reason to go from a haswell i5 to a skylake i3.

An i3-6100 may be worse than the 4570 - certainly, no better.

 

An i5-6500 would be better than the 4570, but I'm not sure how much better. Depending upon what you're doing, it may not be worth the upgrade or it might be better to upgrade your graphics card

If you are playing common FPS shooters or similar (or not gaming at all) you probably wouldn't see any real change in performance.

If you are playing (or want to play) MMOs like SWTOR, GW2, WoW, etc, or other CPU heavy games like GTA V, you'll want to go for the i5-6500 (or better).

If you want to overclock and are willing to buy a new motherboard and cooler along with the CPU, yes. If you're not looking to overclock, no.
