Which CPU to buy

[Anonymous]

Hello to everyone,

I have a short question. As the subjects says, I would like to buy a computer. Everything it's set, 16GB ram, GTX 1070, SSD.

So, the price for i5 6402P is less then i5 6500. What should I choose between these two?

Thank you for your answer

The decision is yours but I ALWAYS by the fastest I think I can afford.

The processors are pretty comparable, but I'd still go with the i5-6500.  It should only be about $10-$20 more.
