I'm making a new gaming rig and I've narrowed it down to these two options. I would instantly buy the i7 but I'm well over my budget so I'm looking for a bit cheaper option. I currently have an i7 on my laptop, but that's not even close to the power of the desktop i5. What I'd like to know is:
-I have dual GTX 970's in SLI overclocked to match the power of two 980's in SLI. Would the i5 be a bottleneck?
-Would it make more than a 5 FPS difference?
-Would I be able to easily run this with at least 30 FPS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5QV_Bag3is on the i5 or was that processed on an extremely expensive Xeon?
