[AlexTWT]

Which is better? i5 or i7 4771 Processor for Gaming? I will use Gaming PC for playing games,recording and editing videos. What do you think it's better me to buy?

I7, simply because of the recording and editing. Difference of I7 vs I5 during gaming is almost non existent and shows up only on few cases.

i5 any day

E3 1230 v3. i7 performance for less, allowing for more money for GPU than that 4771 would for the same amount of money spent on system.

I7-4770K if you planning to OC in future but anyway the cost difference is to small, so take him.
Otherwise you can get an I5-4670K and a good CPU Cooler and OC at 4.2-4.5GHZ

Recording and video editing you want i7's extra threads. Xeon E3 1230v3 is the most cost effective solution for that.
