Hello,

Im planning on building a new budget system intended for programming projects and some gaming.I already have the ASUS H110M-A.
I was watching the i3 6100 for some time and waiting for the kaby lake to come out.
Now im more confused than before , because with the hyperthreading pentiums the difference between the i3 6100 and them is minimal.Im planning to use the iGPU for at least 3 months.

So the point is which CPU is the most powerful at max. 120 euros?
Some CPU's that i was looking: Pentium G4620 , G4600 , G4500 , i3 6100 , i3 7100

Thanks in advance

Your choice is in fact limited by the BIOS on your motherboard: you cannot use PentiumG4xxx CPU without the latest BIOS which supports Kaby Lake CPUs. If you can, or already have, updated it to the latest version, then I'd go for Pentium G4560. If not, the safest bet is Core i3 6100 you mentioned. The will both perform approximately the same.
