Processor and RAM compatibility (side topic GPU Upgrade)

[TonyoWeirdo]

I'm currently running an i3 2100 processor (sorry I'm a poor guy) and I'm planning to upgrade to an i5 7400 or 6600, will my DDR3 1866 RAM still work?
I'm also planning to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1050TI, but I want to play games on high setting with high FPS, will the 1050TI do the job?

Depends what games, and no you will need ddr4 for those cpus.

Unless he gets the 6600K and a Z170 board that supports DDR3 memory

PUBG will run on a dual-core if you can get it past 4Ghz. It's not too graphically demanding if you play at a lower resolution and lower settings. The 6600K should be able to play it at a decent framerate.

Thanks for the answers, I think I'll get a 6600K so my ram sticks won't be wasted. one more thing. i5 6600K + 1050ti, Will I be able to play pubg on high settings?

Upgrade to a used i7 2600 on your current mobo and RAM, and spend every bit you can on a GTX 1070 or used 1080. Sandy bridge still rocks and GPU will be the best bang for the buck upgrade.

 

I would rather have an older i7 than a newer i5.
