As far as i know, characters, hitmarkers, projectiles and trajectories are processed by the CPU, the GPU just renders the images. The only exception i know about is in Nvdia Physx games, where the physics is on the GPU, so if you are playing on a very crowded server you should see a major CPU usage increase.

Usually massive multiplayer games have a massive impact on the CPU rather than on the GPU, but if it works fine on your current CPU you won't have any problem on the 6600. Anyway, the 8150 will most likely bottleneck the 1080, even when OC'd. The I5 will be just fine since you'll be getting 60+fps on any game, plus, you wouldn't gain much by going with the 6700k since single core performances are basically the same between the 6600 and 6700 and games don't really make use of the hyperthreaded cores of the i7 (albeit this might change with dx12).

Resolution? I'd say you'd be bottlenecked at 1080p and maybe 1440p in Starcraft an WoW. Mostly you'll be fine tho.

It really depends on the games and resolution. If you play very CPU intensive games such as Arma 3 you will most likely hit a CPU bottleneck no matter what CPU you are using, so you'll get like 60fps stable with GPU usage at 40-50%@1080p. From here you can increase your resolution until GPU usage hits 90-100%. If you're playing more GPU intensive games like say The Witcher 3, you probably won't get any CPU bottleneck since you'll reach 100% GPU usage before reaching such high CPU usage levels. Still, since most games nowadays are more GPU intensive than CPU intensive you'll most likely be fine with the i5.

If you're gaming go I5, it will give you much better performances. Still i don't get why you'd take the 970 over a 1070 or RX480, they would suit your build much better.

I know that, believe me i watched every single spec sheet i could find, but i already tried it and to me it feels very "casual" when you consider the build quality and buttons layout, if you know what i mean.

Thanks for the advice, but i feel like the D3200 is way too "entry level", that's why i'm not really looking at the D3200 and 1200D. I can get the 100d new, 50d or 600d used. I'm not a complete beginner, i used a nikon F5 SLR and recently i got back to take some photos in manual mode with my gf's RX100, so i don't really wanna go entry level. Is there maybe other models that would be better than the two i mentioned? I don't really mind weight and video recording, since i can use the RX100 for that, and i can't really spend more than 400 euros. Plus i already own a yashica 200mm f/4.0 that i can adapt, so i would be fine with the 18-55 for the moment. My only concern is that the 50D is maybe becoming too old to be usable, would you say it's a fair investment for 300€ (guess it's around 230-250 pounds)

Hi everyone, i'm in the market for a new camera, and i was wondering whether a Canon Eos 50D is still a good choice, or if i'd be better off with some newer cameras like a 600d or a 100d. I'd be able to buy all of these for around the same price (400 euros) with the 18-55. Hope someone who's more experienced than me can enlighten me.

Get an 8320 and save up for a 970. OR 8320 and R9 380.

Well you don't have a CPU. Furthermore, what do you need this PC for? If you're not editing you won't need the 16gigs of ram. You won't need the cooler too since you can't overclock on an H97 board, so i suppose you'll buy a locked CPU.

Not really. I mean, you're lucky if newer games even launch, let alone getting high frame rates. Maybe you can hook it up and it will show you the desktop but you won't be playing on it.

It would cut it pretty close, as long as you don't overclock, still i'd get a 600w for peace of mind.

Yeah quite a bit. Gaming headsets are just overpriced af, you don't get much value for the money. Keep in mind that the HD558 are Open-back headphones, so if sound leak might be a problem for you, or if you play in a noisy environment you might be better off with some closed back models (ATH m30/m50/m50x).

Thank you for your answers, i think i'll look for a good deal with the 600d, as 100ds are quite difficult to find on the cheap.

Are you overclocking? If so it might be bad OC, otherwise you might have problems elsewhere (Drivers maybe). Still under the T° limit by quite a bit.
