Hey Guys! I'm fairly new here.

However, my current build is a AMD Phenom II 965 (Quad Core) I never use the full potential. I can play comfortably GTA 4 (older game) but I'm looking to quit console gaming and slowly move into PC gaming.

I just wanted to make sure that since I'm purchasing new computer parts, that it will work properly.

I'm ordering:
CPU: i3-6100
Mobo: MSI H110M Gaming matx
RAM: 8gb 2400 dual channel (generic G.Skills)


I can't really afford an i5 or an i7 at this moment (being a college student)
** Can this CPU be used with my current XFX r7 360 GPU for the mean time till I purchase a Zotac 1060 6gb card?

I'd like to play GTA 5 (50-70FPS) etc
