i5 vs SSD trade off

[allamut2009]

Hi friends! I have tight budget and can afford gtx 1060 6gb + used i5 CPU instead of old i3 2120 or gtx 1060 + new SSD. i5 and ssd i think will make my gaming smoother but what to choose? Thanks!

Which i5?

Go for the i5 and get the SSD in the future. SSD doesnt really make any difference to gaming, except loading times.

I watched on youtube ssd add ~20-30 FPS you think it's not true?

I call BS. An SSD does not add fps.

Thank you for answers.

Unless the cpu is super cheap I wouldn't bother. Your i3 has slightly better single core performance so all you are gaining is 2 cores over hyperthreading. In games that use 1-2 cores you will see no difference and in games that can use 4 cores I don't think the gain will be significant.
