I was thinking the i3 6100 or the amd 8320e
which would be better for gaming?
I'm planning on building a budget gaming rig for my kid sister. I've only bought i7 processors for the past 5 years and I've never bought an amd processor ever so I'm not sure how to go about this.
Do I have no choice but to go up to a an i5 to get a decent budget rig?
I want her to be able to play new games that come out in low to medium settings at least.
I would be getting a gtx 960 or rx 460 as the graphics card.

 
Solution
The consensus is that the i3 6100 is the best budget gaming CPU. It will be plenty for either of those GPU's, and you can always upgrade to i5 or i7 in the future.
