which one of these should i drop, 1060 6gb to 3gb or 6600k to

>>57853915
6GB 6500

oh btw im not that big on heavy cpu usage like rendering, etc.

i do like heavy cpu games like gta, dishonored 2, battlefield etc, though

>>57853915
You'll likely never be in a position to use all 6gb on a card that weak but it's slightly more future proof and adds more value than the ability to overclock.

Go with 6gb and the 6600/6500

>card that weak
>1060

ive seen benchmarks with rise of the tomb raider going to 7.7gb vram usage..

>>57853962
ok, thanks for the advice

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a bad argument for VRAM discussions because it's pretty retarded with its textures.

>>57853962
Dwarf fortress and dredmor will tax you so don't know what's up with cpu gaming hate

Get an i7 and wait for 1060ti

Wait for Kaby Lake January 2017

>>57853915
480 8gb and 6600k

>>57854483

i7 is a retarded money pit. OP said he didn't do any heavy calculations and i7 won't add value to gaming for a long while..

>1060 6gb to 3gb
this, because you will upgrade your GPU much sooner than your CPU

>>57853915
The question you should be asking yourself is which one is going to need an upgrade sooner. With a 192 bit bus and no support for up and coming APIs the answer is your GPU. 6600K will last you many years but either 1060 will need a replacement quite soon. Cheap out on it now since it'll be useless either way before you know it and get a CPU that will last thanks to tight OCs.

This, it's like when people use any unparallelized game to talk shit on hyperthreading or Total War/ARMA 3 to shill it.

>>57854614
This. That GPU is going to need to be replaced sooner than the CPU, so may as well cut your corners there.

>>57853915
GTX1060 6GB + i3 6100

>>57853915
go with the 6600k with gtx 1060 3gb, but if you go with this, make sure you have a z170 mobo to overclock with and even more importantly, know if you are even going to overclock at all, otherwise, you are just throwing money away.

>>57854058
All the more reason to get more vram cause of shitty opitimized games being more prevalent.
