what cpu for £100 amd intel??

I3 and oc via BLK to 4.5+ amazing value and performance.

What motherboard is best for doing that? I thought they all had the feature removed and that you can only apply an old bios on some boards?

I don't know much about it mind.

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

I went from an i3 6100 to a 6400..i cant tell the difference tbh,sure you might squeeze a few more fps but I don't think its worth it,had I known now,i would have kept the 6100 and overclocked it.

not a big difference between the i3 and i5 you mention,the i5 gets at most around 5fps more in some games and in others nearly identical

By a second hand CPU and motherboard combo.

Get an older x58 and slap a 6 core xeon in it 4ghz for 40quid

Then you up bclck on the 6400 and the gains are seen with 4 real cores.

yes,as long as you have a decent video card to pair with it,i think the op said he is using a gtx 560 so I think personally the 6100 would be more than enough.

I ran both the 6400 and 6100 with a 1060 card,both cpu's were more than enough.

as stated the zeon path could be cheap.
