Hi there, i'm going to upgrade my i3-2100 + H61M-K + 2x4 DDR3 1333Mhz RAM so i'm wondering what to get between : 

 

B250M PRO-HDV + i5-7500 

 or

ASUS PRIME H310M-K + i3-8100

 

i have a gigabyte 960 gtx 4GB that i wont change for now and a 500w termaltek PSU

i only game/watch films on it.

 

if you guys have some ideas on a cheap but solid build for at least the inc 2-3 years, ill take it =D

Thank you.

The 8100 also has better clock speeds and is much cheaper.

yea that's what attract me at first and then i checked this, so i want to ask you guys, are the 8100 a solid cup for the 2-3 years for the inc games? and is the motherboard ASUS PRIME H310M-K a good choice for the cpu?

 

thanks for the replys =)

Why no mention of buying DDR4? FYI you can't use your DDr3 with any of those proc-mobo combos.

CPU: Sempron 2500+ / P4 2.8E / P4 2.6C / A64 x2 4000+ / E6420 / E8500 / i5-3470 / i7-3770
GPU: TNT2 M64 / Radeon 9000 / MX 440-SE / 7300GT / Radeon 4670 / GTS 250 / Radeon 7950 / 660 Ti
