I own an I3 9100F and didn’t have much PC experience when I bought it. I’m searching for a compatible upgrade that works with 9th and 8th generation Intel CPUs, priced near $150, and I’m heading to Central Europe.

It would help to understand the specific country or currency involved. Is this intended for gaming purposes? Probably not a good investment if you're only spending $150 on an i3 upgrade.

In Greece we use euros and it's mainly for light content creation and gaming. I don’t think I mentioned exactly $150, maybe I meant to charge at this rate.

It looks like upgrading from an i3-9100F to a core i5-9400F with two more cores could be a good investment, but it might exceed your budget.

It's not what I thought, I just didn't realize the CPU was different.

the only option left is the 9400F, which offers the lowest price for core count. iGPU models are more expensive even on the 8th generation. their clock speeds focus on overclocking, which isn't possible here.
