Optimized for gaming

[Timmy7140]

So I am going to upgrade my system and just need some opinions on which way I should go for gaming all of today's titles to the next gen ones in 2017 and perhaps 2018.

 

i5 6500 with  asus pro gaming mobo and gigabyte geforce gtx 1060 6gb graphics card 

 

or

 

i5 6600k with asus z170a mobo and EVGA SSC geforce gtx 1060 3gb graphics card

 

Thank you.

1080p so nothing crazy just HD with pretty much max settings and high frame rate.

6600k. either is fine, really.

i would recommend you get the 6600k, but get a cheaper mobo like the z170-e and use the money to get a 6gb gtx 1060 instead.

jep what @herman mcpootis said. get 6GB VRAM. VRAM is the thing you don't need at all till you run out of it and the system starts to dump data to the normal RAM, that's when things go banana.
