Hello everyone,
Since it's almost time for component sales, I was looking to get a new Intel build since I'm currently having issues booting my computer.
I was looking to buy one of the ASRock Z170 motherboard, since it could overclock a locked Intel CPU.

I was thinking maybe buying the i3-6100 or the i5-6500, since from some pictures ASRock sent, both CPU can pull a good overclock.
So, what do you guys think I should do? Am I better off getting the i5 with one of these motherboards, should I get the i3 to save money or keep my current setup?
Current build:
Case: Thermaltake Armor A60
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE running at 3.7GHz
Cooler: Thermaltake Frio (not exactly sure on the specific model)
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE 8GB 1600MHz running at 1333MHz
GPU: XFX AMD R9 270X
PSU: Thermaltake TR-600W
Motherboard: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3
Please help, since I'm really confused on what to buy.
