cpu Which CPU should I get?

[Moose_e]

Intel Core i5 6500 or Intel Core i3-6100 ?

 

The i3 : $118

• Dual-Core with Hyper-Threading Technology
• Intel HD Graphics 530 with 4k support (at 60 hz)
• DDR4/DDR3L memory supported
• Socket FCLGA-1151

 

The i7 : $203

• LGA 1151
• DDR4 & DDR3L Support
• Display Resolution up to 4096x2304
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• Compatible with Intel 100 Series Chipset Motherboards

The MotherBoard I am getting is Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M-A

 

• Supports 6th Generation Intel Core Processor
• Dual Channel DDR4, 2 DIMMs
• Audio Noise Guard with High Quality Audio Capacitors
• HDMI 1.4 port for Full HD contents playback
• Realtek GbE LAN with cFos Speed Internet Accelerator Software
• All new GIGABYTE APP Center, simple and easy use
• Support Intel Small Business Basics
• Micro ATX Form Factor; 22.6cm x 17.4cm

 

Or should I get another Motherboard?

 

My Build at the moment:

 

Motherboard: IPM87-MP

CPU: Inter Core i7-4771 3.5GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR3

GPU: Asus STRIX Geforce GTX 950 2GB VRAM (Might upgrade to 1060)

The i5 makes more sense if you ask me, but we can't help you with that decision unless you tell us what you're putting it with, your budget, et cetera

 

[Computer Encrypter]

It all really come down to what you are trying to use this PC for. If it is for light work and no heavy cpu usage, then go with i3. If you want to game and do multitasking things then u should get the i5... 

PS. You should also get a different motherboard

I want to build a gaming PC that record and edit videos at 1080p 60 fps

[Slottr]

Oh god the comic sans

 

But aside from that horror, get the i5.

Is there a budget?  I mean we could tell you to get an i7-6700k to do that with no budget.

[Gonio]

Then go i5 atleast and if possible unlocked.

[ARikozuM]

My eyes bled out but get the i5.

That will take a lot of CPU horse power. Look at possibly getting a use i7. It will out perform both of those CPUs. Something like an i7-4770, 3770, 4790

500 to 600$

Mind me asking whats wrong with your build right now?  The i7 will do better than the two listed processors.

I going to have to say buddy but I think that neither two of your cpus will barely pass those requirements. Care for the i7s?

[Snadzies]

I'd suggest the i5 but the i3 could do recording and editing if you were to use GPU based recording software like Nvidia and AMD offer to take some of the load off the CPU.

You lose some flexibility and customizability with GPU recording software vs CPU dependant ones.

Editing and rendering would take more time but if you're just doing it as a hobby and weren't trying to crank out several videos a day then the i3 would be okay.

 

If you were to do any streaming then I'd go with the i5 minimum as playing, rendering and streaming it out on the fly can be quite taxing.

What? i5's will record and render videos. He only has $600 to work with. He can use Nvidia Shadowplay and Resolve for very good performance. It's like buying a Hummer for off-roading rather than an old Jeep.

but at 1080p at 60fps... barely

Shadowplay with a 1060 6GB hits your system for about 5-10% less performance.

what's your point...

It's incredibly doable and barely taxes the system.

Well if he chooses the i5 the it all comes down to this

Spoiler

What's the rest of his build going to be?

My CPU is locked and it supports only Haswell Motherboards

Why not just get a 1060 6GB? Your i7 and 16GB of RAM should do well for recording and rendering.

You are right, might just upgrade the GPU then
