I'm looking to build a new gaming system in the next few weeks and I was wondering if it would be worth it to completely bypass the i5 and just go with the i7 or is the i5 fairly capable of running today's latest and greatest games on high settings?
I understand that the i7 has hyper threading technology, but I'm not sure how much this would really benefit.
Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
This is one of the CPU's that I considered.
