Example: i3-6100, budget and well-reviewed z170a motherboard, 8-16 GB DDR4 3000 RAM (pair of two sticks), and AMD 470/480 video card. A 450-600 watt PSU would be able to handle pretty much any single video card setup as long as it's a good brand lol. The charts in the table below demonstrate relative performance of Core i3-2120 and Core i3-6100 CPUs in various program types. The numbers for 'Single-threaded performance', 'Multi-threaded performance' and 'Integrated Graphics performance' charts are calculated as an average of several related benchmarks, that you can see in the 'Benchmarks' tab. Consequentally, the shown results may differ.
