Does this mean that i7 is better even for gaming? For only 100$ more isn't it worth it to get i7?

i5-4670k. ~$100 less, only VERY few FPS less... Go with the i5.

An i7 would only be beneficial if you use programs that use hyper-threading, such as editing videos. You can even do this with the i5. The i5-4670k is the best gaming processor overall, even in price/performance ratio. It is a very fast CPU.

Isn't 8 fps noticeable?

Isn't 8 fps noticeable?

Not in this case, no. Spending $100 on 8 fps more is incredibly stupid.

No it is not worth spending $100 more for an i7, that is why you buy a 1230v3 for far less than an i7.

As everyone else said there is no point in getting an I7 since you really won't get much more out of it than you would with an I5. I mean an I7 an I5 with hyperthreading which is a feature games don't make use of. There is no point in spending an extra 100 dollars on something you won't make use of. Save the extra 100 dollars and put it towards something else like a better video card or a sound card.
