Right now I have i3 6100 / gtx 1060

Is there anything far superior to it for say 200-225 CAD?
I was looking at 6600k but it's in the 300 ballpark.
Is there a good cpu similar and clockable for less?

Buying a second monitor and a HDD(all i have is a 250gb evo 850 ssd) so I don't want to spend 300+ on a CPU.

Depends what you are using it for.
Any reason why you would like to upgrade?

Mostly battlefield 4 and warcraft. Maybe some other games down the road. No streaming or anything too intense.

229.99 on that site which is 309 CAD plus shipping plus customs.
No thanks.

I did say email promo...

if you don't want to fork up the dough for a good quad core then just keep using your i3
not too many upgrades out there for you unless you get the i5 or the i7

or new mobo and get a ryzen

buy a used i5 there bound to be plenty floating around.
plus cpu's are super durable so I doubt you'll find many dead ones in circulation.

Unless if you come across a screaming deal, no point.

You're still using a 1060.
