Solution vapour Nov 9, 2017 8th Gen I3 may be better or on par. Get 8th gen I5-8400 8100 is slightly behind 7600: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-7600-vs-Intel-Core-i3-8100/3890vs3942 But 8th gen needs Z370 Mb which can support 1-2 gen of Intel CPUs. 6th gen I5, not much upgrade room.
