Would you say the performance increase is worth spending 50 bucks more (I'm in Germany paying in €)? I'm building a low cost mini itx PC for Blizzard games (mostly Overwatch, Diablo 3, Heroes of the Storm). I'm playing in 1080p. I like the efficiency of the 7860k. With a dGPU it's just not gonna be as quiet.
