What hardware matters most when playing on big maps with lots of ai and units? The cpu, gpu or ram?

Depends on the game. If they're all controlled individually then you need lots of everything. However if they're in large groups then you won't be stressing the CPU as much as a bunch of the units are using the same AI so the GPU will be the limiting factor. What game are you talking about? What are your current specs?

this is probably more of a CPU bottleneck
