I3 6100 cpu

[JForEnvy]

Hey, I was wondering if the i3 6100 was a good gaming proccessor for workstation and gaming too. The games I'm planning on playing is csgo tf2 overwatch and rocket league, and maybe a couple more games. I'm just wondering if this is a good proccessor. i3 6100 please help. I know this runs at 3.7 ghz with no overclocking. But it's a dual core proccessor. FYI I am pairing this with the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card if that is any good?

For what you describe it is a great processor!

You should be able to pair a GTX 1070 or even a 1080 without issue.
A more reasonable graphics card like a 1050ti, 1060, or RX 480 would be a great fit too!

For those games ?? Yes it will smash through them.

What GPU were you looking at pairing with it??

Those are both the best parts in their price-range right now. The i3-6100 also has hyperthreading, which, at a high level, simulates double the cores. It's not nearly as efficient as an actual quad-core, but it's better than a dual-core without, especially for workstation-type tasking.

What resolution is your monitor? If it's less than 1080p, you may want to consider upgrading that, before you drop $$$ on a GTX 1060.
