GPU*

 

I would recommend a i5 6600 (or 6600k if you plan to overclock)

and a GTX 1060/1070/1080 (1080 will deliver better performance than the 1060 but still the 1060 is more than enough for 1080p)

 

I'll get a GTX 970 with na i5 6500 or 6400.

My Phenom 1090t at 3.7ghz is still not a bottleneck when gaming....
so id say an AMD 6 or 8 core should be more than enough for gaming (@ 1080p) as a budget option

it would come down to the GPU

edit* even at the stock 3.2ghz it doesnt affect gaming performance

My 8-core FX8120 at 4.5Ghz was a bottleneck for a GTX980 (just upgraded to an i7-6800k and that made a huge difference). There's no reason to buy an AMD CPU over an Intel, especially if paired with Pascal. Just go Intel or wait and see what Zen has to offer, an AMD at this point is a waste of money for a Pascal gaming PC.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.
