I have a friend with a FX-6100 who bought a GTX 1060 3GB FTW+ and instead of getting an FX 8350, now he's looking at getting an i5-2500 to replace his FX 6100 because it bottlenecks too much. The 2500 (non K) is more in his budget and I can't find any good gameplay video except of the 2500K.
I thought it would be good enough because of benchmarks show it to be almost the same as a 4460 - http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-4460-vs-Intel-Core-i5-2500/2310vsm517
And it's in the same tier as 2500K and up 3 tiers from FX 6100 on Tom's Hardware Gaming CPU Hierarchy - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html
Would it be strong enough to pair with his GTX 1060 3GB?
Thoughts?
