The 7th gen (i3-7100) is only 5% better in performance than the 6th gen (i3-6100). If your 30 euros is a big deal for you (esp. if you have a tight budget), there won't be much of a performance difference between the two. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-7100-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100/3891vs3511
In fact, if you really want to save a lot of money for almost the same performance of the i3-6100, then consider getting the much much affordable 7th-gen Pentium G4560. This CPU has 2 cores but with hyperthreading (not evident in previous Pentium generations) making it run on 4 threads like the i3's. The G4560 will give the i3-6100 a run for its money. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100/3892vs3511

For movies/shows as main use of your PC, then definitely get the G4560 for best price/performance. You can still pair that CPU with a GTX 1050 (or Ti) if you want basic 1080p resolution gaming as secondary use of your PC.

Just for movies and shows (no gaming), the iGPU will suffice to save on expenses. You can always get a dedicated GPU later if and when you want it.
Ok!! Then I'll leave it like that. Is not that I'm on a super budget mode, but I don't want to expend more money that I need. I want something usefull for that purpose and also something better that what I've now (i3 4130).
PS: also I heard some special config for the AMD graphic cards for cinema uses so if getting one basic is better for the use, I don't mind buying one =)
