I realize, i'm basically wondering if a i5 4590 + gtx 780 on xfx 550w is going to cost a lot on the electric bill?
@i7baby - So wouldn't a i7 be more than it than a i5 since it's got hyper threads? Or are hyper threads only good on certain things? So a i7 is still a quad core and doesn't affect gaming?
Could you put a build together for me for about 1k, i dont need monitors, but i need a os.

- i7's perform better than i5's because they have hyper threading - 4 more logical cores. Not all apps use hyper threading.
