I5 6400 vs i5 4690

[Horse_1]

Hello,please help me to choose pc for gaming gta 5, csgo etc.

5 4690 3.5-3.9 ghz gtx 950 2 gb 8 gb ram vs i5 6400 2'7-3.3 gtx 960 2 gb 8 gb ram

I know i5 6400 is skylake but lower ghz? Which better for cs and gta 5???

Ain't 6400 worser but newer?


Someone explain if 6400 enough for gta 5 etc and what difference between skylake and haswell

all generation i5 processors are good for gaming. But the latest does not mean the best. i5 4690 still kicks ass out of i5 6400. The only major change in the 6th generation is an upgraded igpu which is not even going to be used if you are going for a dedicated Graphic Card.

The 6400 is a successor to the 4460, the 4690 is a really good processor If you already have ddr3 ram there's no point save your money and go with the 4690, if you went with the 6400 you will have to get new ram. The 4690 has better performance and value.

Well 6400 pc is cheaper 40€ than 4690 but doesn't matter. I can't decide between cpu.. If 6400 too low for new coming games..

Do u currently have ddr3 ram? if yes you're gonna spend the same amount of money as ram costs €40

Nope I don't have pc at all

I'm worried of 2.7 ghz being too low as recommended for gta 5 etc is 3.3 and so so for games

What about the i5 6500?

Sadly the shop only has these two models and I'm unable to get anything else.

If the price in your location is that low for the 6th generation Intel Core i5, go with that. There is not much difference between them other than the Integrated graphics being better on the 6th generation CPU.
