Hey there...
I just bought an i5 4430 for $100 (with Staples price-match) to use in my new budget gaming build, which I understand is a pretty good deal.
However, I think I encountered an even better deal:
With the Intel Retail Edge Summer Deals, people can get an i7 4770k for only $76!
(As long as, you are an eligible employee of one of Intel vendors)
The only caveat for me is that I would have to return my i5 4430 (which still has to arrive).
And secondly, I have to ask one of my friends to do it for me (as I personally don't qualify).
So in any case, To do, or not to do...
Is the i7 deal much better?
Is the i7 itself much better (in the long run)?
And is it even worth the upgrade from my i5 to this i7 (via a bit of hassle)?
Thanks; I appreciate the help!
