Solution
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.
 


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