Hard to say it can last for 5 to 6 years, if you are able to tolerate with old hardware now (those with Core 2 Duo) then you can mostly do the same in the next 5 to 6 years when Skylake i3 has started to slow down.
i3 will work for those tasks mentioned but at slower pace, same theory as above again, if you have enough tolerance then it shouldn't bother you too much. Get i5 if you want to have a smoother operation.
i5 6402P is the cheapest Skylake i5 in the market currently and requires top up of nearly RM 300 (more or less). If you can fork out even more, get the 6500 instead, small top up from 6402P/6400 but gain a significant base clock boost (from 2.7 to 3.2).

I decided to go with i5 6500. So the mobo no need to change right ? Since I only run one SSD , maybe a couple of HDD, without gaming , no need GPU also. For the mobo, Giga or Asus are the same ? Do they have pro and cons ?
btw, i3 6100 is the best i3 in term of price and performance ? asking on behalf of my friend
