I bought the i7 a few months ago to upgrade from a single-core Pentium. However, I don't do any video editing and stuff like that; I watch VoD and play games, that's about it.
So, since it looks like I can sell my i7 for ~£180 on eBay, should I do this and buy an i5 for the increased clock speed? I'll be buying a H100i water-cooler, and I'm probably getting a flagship GTX 800 series card when they're released next year.
As an aside, is the Z87 chipset much better than the Z77? (I don't really know much about motherboards.)
