Building a PC for a brother. He's got a ton of cash to spend. He's relentlessly pushing for an i7 over an i5, despite how he's not a media editor. (maybe some photoshop lol) My question is that I know the i5 4670K is a better processor, but in the future if I ever have to overclock it for him (years from now when it stops running top of the line games) it will overclock hotter, possibly causing problems. I personally own the i5 3570K, but I bought it because of its margianlly lower price point at the time. (and its a sandy bridge)
tl;dr->Which one is better for the chance of future overclocking. He's got money so also, is the i7 worth it for him? This would be the i7 he'd most likely get: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-4770K+%40+3.50GHz&id=1919
(Not sure which in that price point is ideal, so I went with the one with the ability to overclock in the distant future.)
Thanks a lot.
