Well the performance difference is very minimalistic.. So I'd suggest u save some bucks and get the cheaper one.. Better yet invest that saved money in more ram or a better graphic card

The 6th gen i3 is better and wise to pick for 2K INR difference. Both the CPU and its integrated graphics are faster than the 5th gen.
