the 1150 is going end of life when the 1151 mb dropped. intel is dropping soon 200 ser of mb chipset and a refresh of skylake. your better off getting the newer mb so you can drop in the next cpu with a bios update.

If you buy a pentium you will definitely want to upgrade to an i5 later.
Therefore socket 1151 is the way to go. Should be able to get a i5 processor to fit OK any time over the next 2 years.
I have a i5 on a cheap motherboard with no problems, but I bought my mobo based on a review which showed that not all cheap H81 motherboards work well with a fast CPU.
Suggest you read a review of H110 motherboards - find one that tested successfully with an i7, and you should be good to upgrade in future.

Hi,
LGA 1151 is the latest Intel socket design as of 2015, designed to accept the new Skylake class of 14-nanometer professors, the sixth-generation and you will be perhaps working with the Intel Chipset Z170

Socket LGA 1150 is designed to accommodate the latest Haswell (4th-gen Intel Core) professors.
With Intel Chipset H87 and Z87, although newer chipsets for this has been released: the H97 and Z97 series.

I suggest go for the 1151 and also, but not least: less power consumption, which mean more efficiency/watt and it is really a very good professor-series.
Best regards, from Sweden

www.passmark.com gives a ranking of all CPU performance
q8400 scores 3200 points
q9550 scores 4000
pentium g4520 scores 4200
i3 6100 scores 5500
i3 6320 scores 6100
i5 6600 scores 7600
my overclocked computer (see signature) scores 8100

An i3 is enough for gaming most modern games, but in a few years will probably start to struggle.
My son has a fast quad core pc built 8 years ago - the CPU scores 5000, and is therefore STILL (barely) fast enough for gaming

i5 -760 scores 4000, same as a q9550.

My advice, better to build a new PC with a pentium g than to spend lots of money on an old CPU

can i get better latest build of amd at rs 10,000 maybe quad core with no gpu as i have gtx 660 so there is no point for me to buy cpu with integrated gpu in india by buying online parts
i only want motherboard,cpu,and ram
i have corsair vs450w psu , gtx 660 and cabinet.
is there cheap amd compared to expensive intel
so later can i upgrade to powerful amd processor equivalent to i5 that corsair vs450 can handle
