[raducojita]

hi i have a b150 mortar arctic with 2133MHz memory compatibility i have i5 6500 help me to find the best processor

The best processor you can put in that motherboard would be the i7 7700k

if you put a 7700K on that board before you install it I would boot up with the 6500 and update your bios to latest release to make sure it will identify and run the 7700K

The i5 6500 is already a good processor.

The difference is quite big in my opinion.

8 threads and not 4, and a 25% higher clock speed. 4.2 vs 3.2, turboing to 4.5 (not 3.6). That's a big shift.

Not worth the 300 dollar/euro/ 250 pound price tag.

His GPU (radeon r295x) cannot even keep up with the i7 7700k so it is not even needed (unless you do not game but do much editeting but then go to ryzen). Getting a better GPU will have more effect in FPS than CPU. The 1060 6/3gb will do really good or if you are into AMD the 570 or 580.

Agreed, it depends on the rest of the system, but the blanket statement that the 7700k is not much of an improvement over a 6500, is underplaying the 7700k, yes a 8 series or 9 series will be better (a bit, 4C8T vs 6C6T is a bit close to call), but a new mobo is required and reinstalling windows, you'll get 90% of the benefit for 60% of the price. Against a stock 7700 it's a different story, the k's stock top speed is the winner. But with a weak GPU there's no point.
