Best Intel processor around 200 usd/eur?
I'm looking to build a new PC. The last time I built one was 6-7 years ago, since then I've been forced to get laptops. Until now.

Assuming you have a motherboard that can OC:
i3-6100 / 130€
i5-6400 / 190€
Assuming you have a motherboard that can't OC:
i5-6500 / 220€
i5-6600K / 275€
>>51978967
I haven't decided on the mobo yet. Am I doing it in the wrong order? I was thinking proc first, mobo second, gpu third. Maybe cooling fourth. I have everything else.

>>51978967
An i5-6400 can be overclocked?
>>51979425
all non-K intel CPUs can be overclocked significantly on certain skylel mobos
>>51978967
So the new i3 are unlocked? How well do they OC?
>Intel

They aren't multiplier-unlocked, the motherboard manufacturers are implementing an exploit that lets you crank what I'm assuming is the BLCK way the fuck up without destabilizing anything like it normally would

now stop messing up my top tier quality board

u got me convinced

Can't [stable BLCK] OC
>>51978762
If new and on a tight budget, get a 4690k and go with DDR3 memory. My suggestion is look at used prices of a Z97/i5 or i7 combo. I have an extra laying here right now.
Will H170 boards be able to BLCK overclock? All the articles I've read mentioned Z170 boards. Will this seriously only be relevant to the 8 people in the world who have combined a locked CPU with a Z170 board?
>>51979543
You're a retard, anon. Maybe go look up how Intel chipsets work.
>>51979690
Enlighten me.
>>51979737
What he is saying is regardless of the processor, you still need a motherboard capable of modifying the multipler/BCLK in order to overclock. In this case, it is the Z170 chipset for multipler OC'ing.

Wow, look at this fuckin dork
>>51979638
lol did you even check the budget?
>>51979505
I think I gotta start buying AMD from now on...
>>51979801
no labels on the graph?
4460 is a good one

Just get a 4690k. Overclock it and you will be set for years.
>>51979801
Kek
>>51981694
>4690k
op here. can you fucking read? I cannot afford it. still gotta buy at least a decent gpu as well.
>>51982005
You can get a 4690k for like 213 USD you mongoloid.
>>51982005
i5-4460, paired with a cheap motherboard, sink the rest into your GPU
>>51982230
it starts at 250 usd in Hungary where I live.
anyway, I already decided on the 6100 so I can get more ram and a better mobo (w z170)
>>51982348
good choice op
skylake allows for massive bclk increases compared to previous generations. most allow you to easily hit 120 - 130mhz on the bclk on non k parts. some have hit 150mhz stable.
>>51982700
this
intel unhooked a lot of shit from the bclk to make bclk overclocks more stable. intel this time around is also allowing motherboard manufacturers to allow bclk overclocks on non k motherboards. notably the gaming series from gigabyte and the like.
>>51978762
i5 4460 or 4590
>get skylake anon, you can OC it, even the non-K ones
>btw you'll also need a €200 mobo for that :^)
>>51982700
>>51982722
Wait...
Hold up...
I bought an i5-6500 + ASUS H170M-PLUS recently. Will I be able to OC? I'm not with my desktop at the moment so can't check any BIOS settings.
