I am looking to upgrade to become a graphics designer, editor, and moderate gamer. I will play Call of Duty and Crysis. Monitor and peripherals are paid for. I would love to keep the budget under 750 but I could stretch to 900 if its worth I'm not sure if i want or need an i7. What kind of performance difference would i get from i7 vs i5 in editing and gaming. I will be doing some overclocking if its worth it.
*update*
I sold the CPU so that needs to be changed.
