This is helpful yeah. Basically when it comes to the GPU i gues money will do the talking and availability. I'm well aware of the difference between the 3 and 6 gigs, thx.
I will still however play at 1080 @60fps, so again, as long as it pulls 60fps i won't consider it a propper bottleneck, and i'm light years away from changing my monitor.
Could you elaborate on what chipset should i buy? Or intel manufacturer for good mothers, i had my share of learning while purchasing AMD boards, and eventually consider Gigabyte to be the best for the red team, rock solid performers at a great price point, i don't know how is it on the intel side.
A little bit different on the Intel side. On AM3+ all the manufacturers were using terrible components for power delivery and Gigabyte was providing somewhat better parts than the others.
I swear by Gigabyte because Gigabyte swears by matte black PCBs on their higher end mini-ITX boards, which are the ones I buy. But I will concede that Gigabyte boards don't have all the bells and whistles, and the BIOS is not as intuitive as Asus for example.
I recommend GB (H97N-WIFI, Z97MX-Gaming 5, and H81M-S2PV). But I would also like to give Asus a try, if nothing but to try out their BIOS. I have a 7-series ASRock board that's still going strong (Z77 Extreme3), and a MSI one that died (H81I, but mostly because it was a cheap board and my rig's purposes were a little too much for its entry-level manufacture).
All in all, your computer will not melt/explode/catch fire on the blue side of the fence if you choose a low quality board, so when it comes to AIBs you are basically choosing based on features, durability and brand loyalty.
While you don't want to overclock, just remember that it's the same as AMD; the higher you go in price bracket, generally the better the board is (quite possibly) the longer it will last.
@JalleR pretty sure that is not how it works...you turn off hyperthreading and not by disabling 4 cores. Also that logic does not make any sense, as AMD's Piledriver architecture is vastly different to Intel Core and is miles behind Skylake on a per-core basis, 4 Piledriver "cores"/"half-modules" is not equivalent to 4 Skylake cores. There's going to be a significant difference in performance between his 8320 @ stock and a 6600K @ stock in games where CPU matters.
, I was like wut?
