Looking for good clock speed and which runs reasonably cool on stock. Not interested in OCing. My 6 year old processor finally died. Guess it's a good time to upgrade as any?

Thanks in advance

  • CPU - Intel Core i3 6100 -9000,
  • Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H -7500,
  • RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 -2500,
  • CASE - Antec GX200 -2700,
  • SSD - Samsung 850 EVO 120GB -4500.
  • TOTAL -26,200.
 
Any options to get an i5 and a cheaper motherboard. I can extend budget upto 30k if so. A quad core i5 seems better placed than the i3 in the long run even though gaming benchamrks are quite similar now, right?

i5-6500 would stretch your budget by approx 6k from above config with same mobo. If you can re-use case, you can fit in i5 in 30k budget.

Thank you![DOUBLEPOST=1467286462][/DOUBLEPOST]Any info on dealers/online buying in Bangalore who do home delivery?

I bought my components 5 years back from Computerwarehouse, but site seems to be down all day.

Finally got all my components -
  • CPU - Intel Core i5 6500
  • Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H
  • RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4
  • CASE - Antec GX200
  • TOTAL - 30000. A little more than estimated, but I got it all home delivered and setup.
Skipped the SSD for now, went with better motherboard. Will think about it couple months down the lane.

Thanks Sunil/Vyral :)
 
Congrats...

If will be helpful for someone like me in Bangalore if you can share the dealer details along with price.
