Go with i5 7400 it is almost half the cost if i7.
And give you equal performance in gaming since both have 4 cores but differs in clocks
i've seen youtube benchmarks and the i5 combo got more fps, i don't understand how?
its better for me tho don't got me wrong its less money but how the i5 performed better than i7 with the 1050 ti
Yes, like arif said, don't believe youtube.
The i7 7700 combo wins all day. No arguments.
have a look at this:

In this one the closest match is the i5 7600, but you can clearly see the 7700 beats in every metric.
If you are planning on playing anything like BF1/BF V, COD WW2 and most new AAA games, then the 7700 is by far the better choice. The 4c/4t 7400 is already going to be maxing out at 100% usage in those games I mentioned and it won' be a nice experience with some stuttering in game. Having the extra threads of the 7700 makes a lot of difference right now.
