Please help me. Thanks

Wait for Zen, if not to buy one at least to know whether Intel will drop prices to match AMD's prices. Also it is pretty important to know which GPU you are using since that gives insight into which CPU would not bottleneck that GPU.

My System:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Gigabyte RTX 3060TI Gaming OC Pro, Fractal Design Meshify C TG, 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz, MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, Samsung 850 EVO 512GB, 2TB WD Blue, Corsair RM850x, LG 27GL83A-B

Thanks for replying ^^

 

 

 

Btw the games im playing is Assasin's Creed, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Evolve Stage 2 and CS:GO

honestly, the budget option is the g4560 - or you can wait for the 4 core 4 thread zen processor to come out

AC Unity/syndicate will be too taxing at the 6100, wait for Ryzen regardless, but a h110m with a 6500 would be neat enough for gaming.

Don't get that, the kaby lake pentium g4560 performs very similar to that processor and costs much less than the i3 6100...but of course make sure you get a mobo that supports that cpu (there are some that are under 60 dollars)

 

Entry level gaming cpu, g4560 if you can find a good motherboard under 60 dollars....If not then, i guess that i3 6100 is a good step forward

 

I5 for good performing cpu 

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you
