Someone, a person I don't really know well, told me that my Intel Core i5-3570 cannot handle playing Battlefield3 and will burn up if I play it, and that I needed to upgrade to an i7. Is this true? Will my i5 burn up?
an i5 and the i7 are pretty much the same when it comes to games, the i7 has small performance boost when it comes to gaming. the only time the i7 will have a considerable boost over i5 is when you video rendering or doing 3d work (hyperthreading).
