Technically an i3-6100 has the best FPS per Dollar but the best FPS over dollar setup would be a i5-6400 with a Asrock Z170 Pro4 and BCLK it to 4GHz Imo

Used CPU's are so much cheaper and better $/performance.

I got no clue why people are even considering 6th stuff.

Because some people want the latest features and the lowest power consumption and bragging rights, etcetera.

And SOMEBODY needs to buy new, you can't have people buying used forever.

And those that feel that they have to buy new are suckers!
