Im building a pc for my dad because his laptop is dying. He will be doing some light photo editing along with autocad work which wont be too intensive. I will be using a z170 mobo that i had lying around so im just wondering what would be the best cpu to pair with it.
 
Solution
well in that case older 6xxx/7xxx i5 non K processors
are decently priced at the moment (you can get one of them 6500/7400/7500 for like 160-170 dollars)
and they are still powerful quad cores overall .

I was thinking that but thought it might be overkill since the workloads arent super intese, the only reason im using z170 platform is because i happen to have the motherboard for it, would there be a more budget friendly option? Sorry i shouldve stated that im looking at a more budget friendly build.
