Budget...?

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

If it's a pre-build I would like to know the price and your budget.

Maybe I can compile a better PC or find a better pre-built.

Pre-builts are actually becoming really competitive.

I would just get an i3-6100.

Get a Pentium G4560 (close to i3) or G4620 (literally IS an i3-6100 but newer architecture)

Kaby lake motherboards do run pretty pricey so you're better off with an older CPU or motherboard (not sure if they're compatible with older motherboards)

G4650 and G4620 can run on H110, H170, B150 and Z170 if the mobo has a newer BIOS from manufacturer, or OP can flash himself

Most likely won't get one with a new BIOS though. And you can't flash without a skylake chip unless I am incorrect?

Yeah. Go to MicroCenter, get a 6100, flash, and return it OR get a mobo from MicroCenter, if it doesn't work, return it and try a newer batch.

Now,i have looked more and seen a diffrent prebuilt.(My budget range is about 600 for the pc and some more for a monitor as i need a complete system upgrade. An Lg flatron a crappy harddrive  and integrated graphics.

But the new pc i found has a R7 370 And  AMD FX FX-6300 Processor Also it is cheaper and has 1tb of storage.

at 543 euros. Im also from Estonia and amazon and ebay arent the best here.
