hello.. as the question says.. what is a better choice among the two if i want 3-4 yrs of good gaming. i know this question is asked many a times but still i want to get some more clarification on this if we exclusively want to play games for a decent time.. the gaming would mostly be single-player. also if i go for the i5 option then ill go for ga-h77m-d3h otherwise for the i3 i can adjust the ga-z77m-d3h easily in my budget. though i havnt overclocked my cpu or gpu ever.. but still i would like to know the options considering the LONG-TERM OVERALL PRICE to PERFORMANCE RATIO

thats y i said i ws combining the i5 option with h77 mobo and the i3 with z77 to balance the budget. now my ques is should i take h77+i5+7770 which would be about 30-40$ higher than z77+i3+650ti. and which option would last longer in terms of gaming if supposedly i dont upgrade any of my components for lets say another 5-6 yrs
