[SOLVED] i3 10100 vs 10105 ? and motherboard

[Renuzit66sick]

Hello guys, i need to build a pc for a friend with very limited budget, i am wondering whats the difference between i3 10100 and 10105? is the 10105 just a slightly better version or is there any downside?

Also i was thinking on buying one of these motherboards:

• Gigabyte h410m S2H v3
• Gigabyte h410m H v3
• Asus h410m e-prime
• Asus h510m e-prime
• MSI h510m A-PRO

As i said we have a very limited budget so i dont expect to buy a really good motherboard, but at least i would like to know if i should avoid one of those i mentioned.

We are buying 2x4GB 2666hz

i hope you guys can help me ! thanks!

Intel specs above; there are some minor differences.

Not sure they would ever matter to average user.

The 10105 was introduced several quarters later. Slight difference in price, but they are very similar in performance.

The difference in specs is really minor. i3-10100 is a very good budget gamer.
Here is a review:

Intel Core i3-10100 Review - Affordable 4c/8t

Intel's Core i3-10100 is the most affordable Comet Lake "Core" processor. Unlike its predecessor, it finally has HyperThreading, which brings the core configuration to 4c/8t. Our Core i3-10100 review takes a close look at how Intel's new budget offering performs against AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X.

Any of the motherboards listed should be ok.
But, I think I would spend the extra to buy a 2 x 8gb ram kit up front.

What is your budget and the make/model of the rest of the proposed build parts?
