Hello!
I am looking to upgrade my CPU from an i3-6100 to an i5-6500. But I am wondering if I should upgrade my motherboard along with it (it is around 2 years old). I don't need any thing fancy, just something basic to go along with a new CPU. Any suggestions would be great!
Link to the CPU I was looking at: https://www.amazon.ca/Intel-Skylake-i5-6500-Quad-core-Processor/dp/B015XEWSMK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487123583&sr=8-2&keywords=i5+6500
Here is my Rig:
CPU- Intel core i3-6100 Skylake
RAM- 8GB Dual-channel
MotherBoard- MSI H110M PRO-D (MS-7996)
Graphics-Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
PSU- EVGA 500 watt
