I'm currently looking for a CPU for my entry level gaming build that will either be paired with a gtx 1050ti or 1060 6gb.
the i3 8100 got me so hyped until I realized it doesn't have hyperthreading... which just makes it a normal quad core. right now I have my eyes set on the i5 8400 with 6 cores, but the 2.8 clock speed is a bit low.
Currently I'm looking for a CPU with at least 4 cores, 3 clock speed give or take. 6mb L3 cache, hyperthreading is good but not needed.
also, if I can overclocked the i5 8400 that would be awsome, but i don't have the slightest clue about how to overclock anything... nor the equipment needed.

i5 8400 has turbo clock. It speed auto to 3,8 (six cores) 3,9 (four cores) and 4,0 (single core).It is automatic as long as the temperature does not trigger. you do not have to do anything, it works alone.
