pairing both with a 1650 and i was wondering which would be better to play cs2 around 80-100fps? the i7 has 2 less cores compared to the i5 but two more than the i5.
fair point but, i really dont like to game on windows 11.The i5 is better only from the perspective that it will support windows 11 whereas the i7 6700 won’t. Which in just over a year windows 10 will exit support. At least with an i5 8400 board you should also have the ability to pick up an i7 8700 later as well.
You do realize that there is nearly zero difference between gaming on Win 10 vs. Win 11? Especially from the game's perspective.fair point but, i really dont like to game on windows 11.

especially after the windows 11 with ads update, im inclined to disagree Imo at least.You do realize that there is nearly zero difference between gaming on Win 10 vs. Win 11? Especially from the game's perspective.
so, if i was to go with the newer 10100f with like a ASUS PRO H410M-C2 mobo, would i need a better mobo if i upgraded to that gens i7?I would mention here that unless you luck across something, at this current time and price space on 8/9th gen CPU it simply is not worth upgrading rather than going with a full new platform. The other aspect of this in particular when you get to the 9th gen i7/9 K skew, you better have a good motherboard (power delivery) and some serious cooling ability not only on the CPU but case with good airflow. Those 9900K are basically an oven and it is a trend that continues on those model/skew even now. And not to just single out Intel cause AMD is making some toasters right now as well.

the reason im going 10th gen is 1. ive been recomended it so many times at this point ive caved in and 2. the i3 10100f is 58 bucks just about on ebay and their mobos are 20 bucks more.To be honest, 12th gen is the value for Intel right now. Z690 ddr4 boards can be found for about 125-130 new on Newegg. It looks like you can get an i3 12100f for about 95 bucks.
For example

Z690 ddr4 board

That would let you use cheaper ddr4, though they had a z690 that accepts ddr5 for 110. So you can go either direction depending how much you can spend. But if you went with something even like a lowly i3, that still is a quad core with hyper threading like the 6700, and probably performs better. But the upside is it unlocks upgrades to 14th gen for you as well.
If you wanted they have the 12400f for about 132.

Of course you can get the CPUs with integrated graphics for a bit more. Totally your call.
it is a little cheaper tho, but the lga 1151 chip bites back with the 45 dollar mobo while the cheapest 1200 mobo is 65 bucksThe 10100f isn't really any better than the 6700k.
