so im trying to sort out a pc for my 10 year old but not sure on what cpu to go for
it will be used mainly for world of warcraft youtube and homework maybe some other games age appropriate so no games like COD or GTA

ive been looking at the i3 6100 would i be better getting a amd ??

cheers Nathan
 
They are, I assumed we're all talking about using the integrated graphics.

Clearly you need to state the budget OP. E.g. if there's £1000 in the kitty for a GPU it's a bit different to 'entire system under £200'. :p

i did look at the apu but then you dont have any upgrade options with them
im trying to do a build for around £400 but i do need to have a corsair air240 in that price i have a gtx 560ti i can use but it is only the 1gb card i do have a thread going in systems and bundles where a few people have said to stay away from the apu
 
I3 and oc via BLK to 4.5+ amazing value and performance.


well its either the i3 or i5 now would the i5 6400 be worth the extra £50+ ??

this is for a 10 year old so is it worth spending the extra i dont think ill be doing any oc unless it would be better for gaming then my i7 4790k then he can have that and ill have the new one lol
