Hi guys

me and my mate are building his PC. We are from Australia. We are having a sale and we can get a R9 380 for $170AUD. It was $250AUD. So decided to get it.

Now the Question is, should we get the i3 6100 or i5 6400 for it??

So which one.

and the i3 6100 $155AUD and the i5 6400 $245AUD

Which should we get.

Now please keep price to performance in mind. he doesnt want to pay $100 extra just for a minor difference.

He says he want to pause the game, and watch Youtube and Facebook and stuff aswell.

Get the i5 6400, it has 4 cores instead as the i3 is a dual core and is hyperthreaded ( 4 threads, but true cores are better). The i5 has much better performance and wont bottleneck any games or the GPU and in games you will probably get 20%+ performance over the i3. Also its alot better for multitasking.
