Need help

OK so I'm stuck in a rut, Im having a hard time deciding whether I should get the i3 6100 ($130) and if so which mobo or a package deal with the i5 6600 and MSI z170a m5 for ($320).

Want mainly for everyday use and light gaming. Don't want to spend a ton of money, but want something good, about a $650 computer build.

go with the i5 as if you get into gaming more you have loads more headroom to play with then if you have the i3

[zehao39]

if you want you can get a i52400 for only 70$ and the mobo will be much cheaper

Ok, well seeing that I could get the 6600 for about $225 what mobo would be good to go with that that's not more than $100 and is better than the MSI z170a m5, if there is one, or should I just go with the 6500?

you dont need a z170 mobo with a non k cpu, go with h170 as it has no overclocking abilities as your cpu is not overclockable

I prefer b150. More useful features, as it is business oriented.

Would be your recommendation for a h170 motherboard then?

Ok well say I don't want to game at all what would be better for regular computing, basic everyday computer stuff?
