You already possess certain components. Additional additions include a 10100 unit, an updated platform, and a significantly quicker performance.
It doesn't seem fair to compare these chips if they're priced near their original costs (around 100-120 euros). The choice really hinges on your specific situation, like whether you already have the right board or what your needs are.
Which nation do you call home? In a nation where second-hand goods are plentiful, that might seem expensive, but if it’s typical for your area, it could be reasonable.
The i5-6500 at 80€ feels expensive since a new i3-10100F is also available for 80€ (in stock) and offers significantly better performance. I checked eBay and found the 6500, along with the 7400, 7500, and 6600, all priced between 80-90€. That’s quite a lot for those components. The i3-10100F needs a different motherboard, but if you also sell your current B250 Boost (which still sells well on eBay), upgrading to a 1200 socket board for the i3-10100F won’t cost much more now.
In reality, it varies greatly depending on your location across Europe.
