Need some help with cpu stuff :)
ok so ive been needing to upgrade my pentium cpu BUT! my motherboard is a 'Asrock Fatal1ty H170 Performance' i want to upgrade to a 'Intel Core i3 9100F Processor' but i have no idea if its compatible with my motherboard. Any help would be amazing :P

It's not worthwhile doing that, the 9100F is horrible for the price, and adding the cost of the motherboard on top of that is not smart. It's a waste of money and frankly shouldn't exist.

AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPUs basically destroy anything less than an i7-9700K, the 3200G would slap the 9100F around for the same price, if not less.

True but if he has a H110 MoBo then he will still need to upgrade his RAM as Ryzen heavily underperforms with DDR4-2133

Hence why I said stick to 6th and 7th gen... No need to change everything out.

ty ty, so what if i got a ASUS Prime B450M-K Motherboard then stuck a AMD Ryzen 3 2200G APU in it would that be good?
Yes, that would work.

But Zen2 has better offerings for not much more.

Also; 2200G - 135 AUS, motherboard 110 AUS, and you're combining it with ♥♥♥♥ RAM, so it will run ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It's literally cheaper to grab a used i7-6700k(for 200 AUS), have twice the threads, more single core performance, and not have to worry about RAM
but the i7 is $500 on amazon, and second hand is kinda scetch

Ebay has buyer protection iirc. You will get your money back if they guy sells you a defective part.

It's the best option, it's also the cheapest option.

You have to realise that second hand is the only way you're going to minimize cost while maximizing the gain of the upgrade. Buy a used 6700K, you'll get FAR better FPS out of it than a 2200G or 9100F. Nothing else will need changing except the GPU if you want more FPS.

As Autumn said, Ebay and some other sites have buyer's protection, which help people who get scammed. It's best you check local first, as it's harder to get scammed when you're in person and actually able to SEE what you're buying.

i7-6700k vs 2200G.
Much better performance across the board, and much cheaper than swapping to AMD parts.

i7-6700k vs i3-9100F.
Sameish single core, and quadcore speeds, however the i3 only has 4 threads, which can be limiting in some games. And lots of games these days used more than 4 threads; so if you want to play anything new you want to have more threads.
Edit ; the i7-6700k has 4 core and 8 threads, so still pretty decent by todays standards.

Ty ty, what about a i5-7500 would that be good?

It's better than an i3 but no hyperthreading, so 4 threads puts it at a disadvantage. Choose that as a last resort. A 6700K or 7700K should take priority, stick to the used market. It's not worth buying brand new old CPUs because of price inflation.

Because i'm not looking for the best performance just something to replace this pentium

If you're upgrading, there's no reason not to try to get a used 6700K or 7700K, it'll last longer and perform a lot better than you think an i5 will. Games are starting to love more than 4 threads.

You can do something stupid like buying a new i5-7500 for 300+ AU, or spend way less on the used market for a 6700K that would blow it out of the water. The idea of "just wanting to replace this Pentium" just means you're replacing trash with something slightly less trash. It's a waste and barely solving your problem.

You'll have to spend money to upgrade an i5 so much sooner than an i7 because of the extra threads with the 6700K, higher IPC, higher clock rate, etc.

Look at it this way.

Games need lots of performance these days. A quad i5 won't cut it.
You're on a dead platform, there's no reason to buy the worst when you can buy the second best performing chip for the platform (albeit used.)
H170 then just update to latest bios and install a 7500, 7600K, or 7700K

Buy a cooler for it, such as Hyper212 EVO

That should keep you going for years before you need to upgrade motherboard in order to get a better cpu.
