hi guys, i am from india and i wat to get a good processor for my pc my i3 6100 sucks these days with new games .,i am using 16 gb ram, nvidia 1060 6gb founders edition ,2tb hdd vs 550 corsair psu so can anyone suggest me a good processor because my motherboard dsnt supports any 7th gen processor...i thought of getting i5 8th gen but it will not support my mobo and i7 6 gen which worth around rs38000 now .. ...
plz suggest any goood processor which will let me play games without frame drops in games like pubg or battlefield

no, only up to 7th gen for b150
8th gen intel chips requires a 300 series motherboard, even though they share the same 1151 socket

If you are sticking with the b150 board, then your options are 6th gen or 7gen i5/i7, namely the i5-6600/7600 & i7-6700/7700
Getting a 7th gen cpu would also require a bios update for supporting 7th gen
