Hi there, iv been thinking; almost everything Iv read regarding game resource usage has talked about how the GPU is the most important factor in how a game runs, and that the Intel i5's are (at the moment) all that are needed (AMD equivalent s included)

My question is with more mathematical calculations and so forth, that are less graphics related;
for example if I wonted to put a truck load of units on a custom ARMA 3 map.
Would the power needed to proses all that come from the CPU instead?
Hope Iv explained my self, if not just answer to the best of your ability. Thank You :)

The i7 should be fine since even the i5 won't bottleneck most modern GPUs.
