This is for my wife's current Pentium G4400/1060 3GB/1440p 60hz system.
We'd like to be able to play Farcry 5 together... but the G4400 is a serious bottleneck.
Not going to overclock, as she has a pretty basic air cooler.
Obviously the 8th Gen i5 are seriously better value, but we are not interested getting her a new motherboard too.
Looking into used i5 6 and 7 series on eBay:
It appears the i5-6500 is the best value, at roughly $128 (ugh) for a used one.
Am I right in assuming there really isn't a ton of difference between the same models of the 2 generations?
Would a 7600k perform significantly/noticeably better than a 6400? She's used to playing Zelda on the Wii...
