haidcar wrotean i3 is always a bottleneck. dont go with a dual core, quad cores are a must nowadays, current gen i5 is good choice, i7 is does not yield significantly better performance overall.
It's the 6th generation of i3 with 3.7Ghz.
It has turbo boost and 4 threads.
It is not your everyday i3 in terms of performance, only in terms of cost.
It rivals the 2.70 GHz - i5-6400 and also beats it. (Check CPUBOSS.COM)
I need to chose between the following four, and for few % of added performance I won't double or triple the cost.
Skylake 3.70 GHz - i3-6100 3M/LGA1151 $116.00
Skylake 2.70 GHz - i5-6400 6M/LGA1151 $178.00
Skylake 3.30 GHz - i5-6600 6M/LGA1151 $219.00
Skylake 3.40 GHz - i7-6700 8M/LGA1151 $301.00
I want to emphasize on that this is a budget build, so do you think that THIS i3 is good enough or I need to chip in another 100$ (and I'm really short on money).
