Which would be a better combination for gaming? I will be playing a lot of games like Skyrim and Battlefield 3. I would not want the i3 to bottleneck the 7870 and I fear that the i3 may not accept future GPU upgrades because it is weaker, thus, is the i5 a safer bet because it is more future-proof? Or will the i3 be solid for years to come? I am considering the i3 setup because of the more powerful 7870 that I can afford with it and since the GPU is the most important component for a gaming build and the CPU has very little to do with it, it will run games better (please correct me if I am wrong). Any feedback will gladly be appreciated. Thanks
