Heya!
Following on bitsnpcs comment...
I don't know if this is still the case but when I shopped my PC a few years ago (gen 2xxx and 3xxx Intel CPUs), the most bang for the buck was i5.
i5 was even faster in lots of benchmarks then i7. Main reason was that i5 had higher clock speeds, so, even if i7 had more cores, most games didn't use them.
Not to mention i5 was a lot cheaper. I suggest you look at some of your "probable" games benchmarks, you could save a lot of bucks and would affect speed.
i3 was not worth mentionning, it's cheaper but would not consider it a "gaming" CPU.
You can start to flame me now if I'm mistaken. I'm not has inclined to modify, add cool lights and tweak everything regarding my PCs as I used too so I guess I could be called a Gamer Geezer or something.
Cheers!
Note : I modified my post since it came to my attention that I used an inapropriate word. I'm truly sorry and apologized to anyone offended and can sincerely assure you that it was not done to voluntarily disrespect anyone.
