How can I achieve more FPS?

The 6100 is still $20 more than the FX-6300. Skylake boards are more expensive too. I can fit an FX-6300 and an R7 370 in a $500 budget, with the i3 I'd have to downgrade to a 750Ti or R7 360.

No. Don't touch the BCLK unless you really know what you're doing. Base clock OC is a bad idea.
Also, it's Z170, Z97 is for Haswell/Broadwell.

 

It's a bit over $500 with the i5-6400. With the i3, it'll be ~$40 under. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Funky7Monkey/saved/6dYhP6

 

Whoops, my bad

 

Except if you really have the money. You CAN still take an i7, just don't if you have to choose between a GTX 980Ti and an i7. GPU is more essential.

That could be quite a headstart for AMD.

 

That cpu must GO get at least an Intel core 2 extreme edition

 

Bad idea. A C2QX will be at least 7 years old, they're also not cheap - unlike C2D/Qs, they're enthusiast CPUs, they don't depreciate as quickly and were very expensive at release. For the money you're probably better off getting a new H110/81 board and Skylake/Haswell i3, though if you want anything remotely future proof you should get an i5-6400.

Edit: Just checked, you can get a QX9750 for $120 - same price as a new Skylake i3, a new board is $50. The i3 will perform much better and the QX has most likely been overclocked/overvolted, might not last too long.

 

Please do more research (what a know it all) people have different opinions.

 

Pretty sure you're the one who needs to do more research.
And choosing a CPU is not a matter of opinion, a 7 year old CPU is objectively worse than a new one, and not worth buying.

 

I research for not seconds for days

 

Then you should know buying outdated hardware is never a good idea. Here have some benchmarks:

That's a QX9770 - Top tier CPU at time of release, priced at $1400, now still sold for $300 - getting completely destroyed by a Skylake i3.

I'm not here to argue with you - I'm trying to help people. I've been building PCs for years. I know what I'm doing. And I actually research and check my sources before posting. Please don't post advice if you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

 

my father has been building PC's for 20 years and he knows and taught me more then you know

 

Then prove it. I just provided benchmark scores. I can give you links to the parts if you're too lazy to search Ebay and PCPP for them. I can give you many reasons why buying an old CPU is a bad idea. You have nothing to back your point - not even an argument other than "I'm right because I know more than you because ???".

I'll also ask that if you do decide to continue this argument, you take it to PM. We're cluttering the thread.

 

Even I wouldn't buy a Q2E / C2Q for any kind of modern gaming (And that's me! "Cheap used parts whore Galore!"), it's just silly, especially when you consider most games recommend a I5 2500k minimum, not only that but they really, really, are overpriced. And BlueScreen isn't a know it all, he's a know it all who knows his shit.

 

Although, for a while, I actually was running beamng on my "fabulous pile of steaming crap," which had a core 2 duo from... '08 I believe? Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.2 ghz, 4gb of DDR2, and a Zotac 9800GT 512mb. It will run (mostly) on crap, but forget about using more than 1 vehicle or decent settings. However those CPUs are like $10 so if you simply must play but are living on the streets or something... It will get the job done (usually). However, I say this with an enormous caveat- a system like that simply can't run the larger maps due to a lack of both VRAM and DRAM. All stock maps except East Coast and Hirochi Raceway worked, as for mods, your mileage will vary. I am NOT recommending this, I am just saying it will work
