[Bernard Baconawa]

I3 6100 because it has ddr4 support

Thanks you!

The i3 is better in terms of actual CPU performance, but the 7890k is better in terms of the iGPU.

True, but he will likely be running a gpu.

Then the i3 is better. Bearing in mind some games much prefer 4 true cores then 4 threads (basically, any recent i5 would be a good choice).

Thank you for responding!

What's your budget/country?

Are you going to use a dedicated GPU? If not wait for AM4 motherboards, the only APUs worth buying are the A8's with the cheapest possible board to try and hit a $200 budget

If you're using a dedicated card get the i3 6100 with probably an MSI VD board, they all seem to have solid power delivery and USB 3.1

I am planning to buy a GPU, to be specific, Gigabyte geforce gtx 1050 ti g1 gaming 4gb.

My reason asking that question is, I owned  i3 6100 + Gigabyte H110M - DS2 and my friend ask me, if I want to swap my rig to his which is  A10 7890k +  Gigabyte G1-Sniper A88.

Keep your rig. IF Zen lowers prices on Skylake by 10%, it could be time to upgrade to an i5 or i7.

Not worth it to swap really, you get a better iGPU, but weaker CPU

Also save up for an RX 470, it's faster by far, more capable of playing AAA games at 1080p , for generally not much more money, especially in DX12/Vulkan

The i3-6100 is the better CPU, with the 7890K having a bit better integrated GPU - good enough for stuff like Rocket league in 1080p.

 

I would choose the i3. And as people have said, the RX 470.
