What about a lga 1155 i5?It will perfom simillar to a haswell-skylake i5 and you save money from new mobo and ram(if you pick skylake).

you mean LGA 1551?

The problem is, i dont know witch one to pick , the i5-6500 skylake or i5.4690.

Also, i have money for new MB, and RAM i have 2x8 vegence 16GB already that bought
MB i will buy later.

Sorry,i mean you can pick an i5 with same socket as your i3,which i5 has the about the same perfomance as an 4690-6500 and you find it on ebay with much less money like these i5

What is your motherboard?

yeah like i5 3570k or get an i7 3770k
i5 2500k and i7 2600k also are a good option..

how about i7-4770 ? i dont need actualy K version because i dont want to overclock so i just go with non K.


p.s in my country i cant get 3570k or 3770k or 2600k its all old parts our internet shops dont sell them anymore.

i suggested those procs because they are all lga 1155 and you wont have to change your mobo. i5 3570 or i7 3770 will likely match a skylake i5

dont worry i have money for Mobo , plus this mobo is pure cancer shit. its H61H2-M12 cant even go further then 1333Mhz on RAM.. pure cancer LAN max 100mb.... noupe

Well the guy has money for a new Motherboard, why insist on making him buy those cpus? Buy the i5-6500, its cheaper and its new tech.

Along with a DDR3 motherboard because the OP wants to reuse his DDR3 kit; that limits the number of socket 1151 motherboards.

The i5-4690 is a faster chip: 3.5GHz turbo 3.9GHz compared to 3.2GHz turbo 3.6GHz. True the Skylake has an IPC advantage so its base 3.2GHz is more like a 3.3GHz Haswell, but I'd still expect the 4690 to perform better.

Evaluate the whole package here, you can't base it on the CPU price alone. Compare with an H97 board and an H110 board. If you need to buy new DDR3, then the Skylake has a good argument since the entire package will be similar in cost. If you have 8+GB of DDR3-1600+ and want to reuse that, then the 4690 has a good argument since it's a stronger CPU and costs less for you to upgrade.

EDIT: I see that you've already purchased a 2x8GB Vengence RAM kit. If it was DDR3, then you MUST buy H97 and 4690. If it was DDR4, then you MUST buy H110 and 6500. The two chips use different RAM - there's no way around this one and the decision has already been made for you if you want to use that RAM. Your other option may be to return the RAM if you decide that you want to use the other one (eg, you bought DDR3 but you want to use Skylake or you bought DDR3 and want to use Haswell).

It sounds like you want to go with the 4690 here, assuming the RAM kit is already being used in your system. It's a stronger chip and is going to cost you less overall at this point, there's not much of a reason to get Skylake in your case unless you absolutely must have an NVMe SSD.
