Hi I am wondering what CPU would be the best for me.
I was going to get the i7 but the store I was going to buy it from has been raising the price for some reason. And this made me reconsider.

The store will sell the i7 for $469.95(New Zealand dollars) and the i5 for $359.95.
So right off the bat the i5 is significantly cheaper for me to get.

I will be using it primarily for gaming with high graphics (E.g BF4 Ultra, Far Cry 4, etc), and I will be doing a little bit of adobe Photoshop etc, and some video editing hopefully for a YouTube channel.

I also have a NZXT Kraken X41 for my build so i would be able to overclock the i5 if needed.

I am only 15 and this is my first build so the lower price of the i5 is tempting.
I also have a G1 GTX970 from gigabyte and don't want any bottlenecks in my graphics caused by a lower grade CPU.

Thanks.

 


Thanks.
I just needed a second opinion to help me choose. I will now go with the i5.
