This will be infinitely better, an i3 + RX 480 combo is hard to beat. Went Skylake but I think it's well worth it for the cost savings. Dropped down to 8GB RAM too (plenty).

If you're willing, this is a really good deal for an RX 480 8GB model instead of 4GB

Edit: get this case if you can afford it, much better quality

The Pentium is kabylake, can you tell me how much better it would be?

Not a whole lot, an i3 Skylake is easily going to beat a Pentium Kabylake

Ha thats been proven wrong

Actually, the 6100 is only 2% faster than the Pentium, and the single core performance of the g4560 is better than the 6100.

See the video I just linked, gaming performance seems to be much better. Plus two threads really isn't going to keep up with most modern applications, hyperthreading will be key in the future (or even now honestly)
