I want to upgrade my existing i5 4460 based setup as it cannot keep up with latest titles and exhibits a lot of stuttering while running them.
I found a seller online who was offering an used i5 8400-is it good enough for games and can it handle the games that are likely to be released in the next 2-3 years?In particular,i want to run cpu-intensive titles like AC origins,which simply failed to work satisfactorily on my current system.
I requested the seller to send me some photos of the cpu and these are the ones that i received:

The gold pads to the left at the rear of the cpu look slightly discolored/faded-is it normal or is it likely to have sustained some damage due to overheating etc which may have caused the discoloration?
Should i buy this cpu?the person selling it wants 9000 INR(approx 123 USD) for it.
Is the 10th gen i3 10100 actually better than this hexa core 8th gen i5?
