Need i7 for future gaming?

[Guest]

I am starting to notice that recent games are listing i7's in there recommended specs. Will these games run fine with my i5 4570, or should I consider upgrading?

An i5 is just as powerful as an i7 in gaming,there's practically no difference.
You don't have to upgrade that CPU,it's powerful enough to handle games at higher settings for at least 2-3 years from now.

System specifications for games, especially ports, are nonsensical, since they're rarely actually tested in practice.
