Hi everyone! I'm now planning to upgrade my "not so" gaming rig.. switching from fx8350..
will not look into overclocking as I don't see any significant gains based from what I've seen on tests in youtube and since I already have my eye on the MSI H270 Tomahawk Arctic motherboard..

The pc is currently the center of entertainment in my house so that means I will use it primarily for gaming while letting the others watch a 1080p movie at the same time... (I have one monitor and one tv)

I know that the i7's are primarily aimed for content creators that render videos and such but in my case, will I benefit with an i7 as well? or should I just get the i5?

I appreciate all your responses in advanced! Thanks!

both my monitor and tv are 1080p 60hz displays.
I currently have a gtx 970..

I appreciate your response but do u have any justifications as to why I will benefit better from an i7 over the i5?
